ICP021 Irregular Crates Podcast 021
Some of our more attentive readers may have noticed that there are some new ‘reviewers’ writing posts for us. This came about after we were tired of writing ‘we’ when there was only really one person writing! Not to mention, getting a few more people involved means we should be able to post up about more music. So, we thought we’d all get together to compile a mix of tracks in our playlists, as it’s been a while since there’s been a ‘podcast’ up on our Mixcloud account.
Our 21st podcast features roughly 20 minutes’ worth of tracks from each of our 4 writers (Harry, James, Edward and Luca) and it has been mixed using harmonic blending techniques, where possible. So it should make for a smoother listen than our usual podcasts for starters but also, this mix focuses more on Ambient genres than our usual hap-hazard ‘anything goes’ selections.
Our writers have a wide taste in music but all four lean more towards Ambient music in their own musical projects, one way or another, despite having a more varied listening taste.
The mix opens on a modern classical note, with the mighty Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson setting the tone. It goes on to traverse more electronic/Ambient territory with further hints of modern classical chamber music creeping into view from time to time. Things get a little noisier and murkier as time progresses and the introduction of subtle beats occurs towards the end of the set to build a sort of crescendo. The dying moments of the mix head towards the clouds with purer Ambient drones providing a lulling, quiet end.
