a mix tape for when you are having trouble falling asleep.
I spent the last couple of nights up making this mix for you. It has been carved from songs that have been close to my heart for this last two months.
Sharing is good (feel free to ask me to tell you more about this).
The order is important. So lay in bed and close your eyes.

I like the lighting in this shot. It looks like a black and white but I can see the blue on the bed sheets...
Id love to have a copy of the tape!
I miss mix tapes... Used to record on them all the time... now its just cd's and mp3z!
Cheers

Thanks for that - just had a wee listen on youtube. 3055 is right up my street - especially when the drums kick in!
Made me think though - not exactly the same, but have you heard of Four Tet?
emmylou.virginia (38 months ago | reply)
Explosions in the Sky, Bon Iver, Sigur Ros - yeah, I could see that being a good falling-asleep mix =)
jocelyn tran (38 months ago | reply)
wow.
a. lovely shot!
b. nice penmanship
c. i love mixed tapes [cds/mp3]
d. any bedtime mixed cd starting with Explosions in the Sky and ending with Sigur Ros has to be good
e. love the fact you even stated the city/country
ps. have you heard of muxtape tape? it use to be an online mixtape site but is no longer working.
eduardoizq (38 months ago | reply)
Thanks so much. I remember fondly sitting in front of the tape recorder when I was a kid, mixing it up :). With regards to your point (e), I can't listen to something new without half way through the song wanting to find out where the artists are from. I thought everybody did too!? By the way, I had not heard of muxtape.. it sure sounded like fun.
jocelyn tran (38 months ago | reply)
f. i agree order is very important.
i use to be the same way [might still be] about finding where the artist is from. THANK YOU for the mixed tape! i'm excited.

i absolutely love olafur arnalds - 3055 but i don't know the other songs. would love to get to know them! beautiful picture and nice idea.

Hey Eduardo, nice picture, as usual.
First, may I get the link?
and, Second, just for curiosity, are you using studio/professional lights in your home photos?
uh, huh melfy (38 months ago | reply)
Thank you for the mix. I especially love the Album Leaf song; that is a completely new-to-me band. It's too bad you never got to experience muxtape.com. You would have really loved it; I know I did before it got shut down. I also enjoyed mixwit.com but surprise, surprise, it also got shut down!

Yes please, this looks amazing!
Cindy Bokeh (35 months ago | reply)
You might like to check out Alexi Murdoch. He is completely amazing. Listen to 'Wait', 'All Of My Days', and 'Orange Sky'. This is a beautiful mix, by the way.

I created a Spotify playlist of all these tracks, but unfortunately only 8 of the 13 you list are available (and even then, the Sigur Ros track is the live version).

Oh man, that's pretty sweet - unfortunately Spotify is still not available in the US.
