All these years I thought he said "the big" jokes.....

It’s now October 2024 and this journey is as relevant as it was so many years ago.

4 years later and I still keep returning to this track. I never would have imagined this as 'music' but it's one of the best forms of music or art I've ever come across. Congrats for producing this dude. Do you know where I can find more music like it?

@therhythmsociety: thanks a lot ... was a pleasure

live dj set at chillits festival 2009

http://boingboing.net/2009/10/20/chillits-2009-mixes.html

(review from boing boing.net)
Chillits is an annual outdoor ambient music festival that takes place in the fall in the redwoods of Willits, California. I've never attended in person, but the DJs post their lovely musical sets online as MP3s and Torrents. This music keeps me calm all year, or tries anyway. I suggest starting with the sounds of DF Tram, but I'm biased. He's my favorite ambient DJ, spinning transgenre mixes inspired by and drawing from electronica, jazz, avant-garde classical, and the history of computer music.
