Living Room n°83 ~ DJ In A Dream ( @anthonyabbadessa )

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi, my name is Tony, I'm a psychotherapist in NYC who loves making mixes . I also love to make clothing and sometimes my own music. I'm a massive fan of the Living Room series and have been a listener since day one. Very excited to share my mix with you all.

q. is there a story behind the mix? 
a. Every song in this one is very special to me. The mix took a few different shapes until I settled on this sequence. There's a lot of voice, a lot of different languages. There are many stories.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix? 
a. This would be best enjoyed on headphones, walking outside. It's best for around 11 am walk, but perhaps the night would be nice as well, haven't tried that yet.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room... 
a. My favorite object right now in my living room is my 1855 Edition of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, I read it every day and it has become a sort of religion to me.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)? 
a. I'm currently writing a dark fantasy / philosophy novel inspired by Borges and Medieval Christian Mysticism. It's taken most of my time so I'm pretty much only doing that, not working on any music projects at the moment.

Living Room n°83 ~ DJ In A Dream

An hour of spellbinding solo piano recordings from one of the most fascinating musicians of the past century. Born Yewubdar Guèbrou in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, into an upper class family, she was classically trained in piano and violin. The Emperor Haile Selassie cruelly vetoed this project, to the young artist's great dismay. Her dream cruelly dashed, she sank into a deep depression. From then on, she had no other thought but to withdraw from the world and turn to religion. 

She spent the rest of her years living out these holy orders, first in Addis, and eventually in Jerusalem, and she continued to write and record music – a truly singular style of piano composition, as indebted to the proto-ambience of Erik Satie as it is to the Ethiopian tradition.
