curvy, Forest Roads followed by a cold straight highway. 
Getting faster and faster without knowing the destination, driving till the sun slowly rises, lost in space and time. dreamworld or harsh reality? 
This mix is contributed to melancholic night rides

This mix is a chronologically ordered selection of songs, that were remarkably influential for me.
They are not ordered by release date, but rather by the time that I came across them, spanning the time from my very birth until now.
All of the pieces are not only related to specific personal memories but also to different phases and ways of listening to music.
Instead of a tracklist, I have put together a list of selected YouTube comments and lyric bits for each of the tracks:

"today my son [...] is 1 month old and he smiles at me while we listen this song... until he falls asleep."
"music is hands down the closest thing we have to a time machine."
"all Iranian Women and girls used to cried with this clip."
"One day i fell asleep and forgot my headphones on...
      at night i woke up right towards the end of >arto<.
      Having never heard it before, therefore not knowing that i am just hearing a "song" - it scared the living crap outta me,
      especially those screams at the end because I still was in this weird half-asleep half-awoke state
      where you cant really differentiate what is real and not."
"One of my favs when I was a tormented teen. Now I am a tormented adult."
"that's a perfect microcosm for how the album might have sounded with Cliff still in the band,
      since his death inspired a lot of the darkness and grief you can hear on >Justice<.
      In this way the forward intro gives us a taste of that alternate reality where the crash never happened."
"Dawn is broken anew
      And I am still awake
      I wish for sleep
      Only to dream of you."
"Don't be afraid of the dark, kids, it will eventually become your friend."
"The word Shosholoza or "tshotsholoza!" means go forward or make way for the next man, in Ndebele.
      It is used as a term of encouragement and hope for the workers as a sign of solidarity."
"I blame you for looking at me from your eyes.
      From a dying rose in your hands,
      I blame you."
"I asked them: how long have you been here?
      they said:
      in the past I was that way,
      now I am this way.
      Noone is to blame."
"and she says she likes my sneaker. So you know she is a keeper."
"3am on Mother's Day in Oakland California and I'm drunk texting link to this song to hella moms everywhere."
"confusion is the truth. A truth I find, I cannot use."

Immerse yourself in a transformative journey where listening becomes the trip itself. Time bends,
perception heightens, and the music becomes a portal to uncharted dimensions.
Mesmerizing effects swirl, enveloping your mind in euphoria as you surrender to the immersive experience. Boundaries blur, collective consciousness intertwines, and the act of listening becomes an all encompassing transformative voyage.

This mix, which was crafted during the early days of spring, invites you to embark on a sound journey, carefully navigating through a tapestry of contrasting frequencies. Dive into the mesmerizing blend of low and high tones, symbolizing the transition between the past and the imminent arrival of something new.

Aboutness

A nostalgic journey back to the early 90s. Each beat, like a gentle ripple in time, recalls moments of youthful freedom and discovery—back when life seemed open-ended, and everything was infused with a quiet sense of mystery.
The soft, swirling pads and cosmic sound effects take you back to a time when technology was still a promise of the future, yet simplicity ruled the moments. 
Floating through the past, with no destination, just the comforting, timeless pulse of the music guiding you through memories of an era where connection was found in shared, unspoken experiences and emotions. 
It’s a bittersweet sensation, a mix of longing for the purity of that time and the serene joy of having lived it.

pee bee plays selected music
from the NWW list

The Nurse with Wound list is a list of musicians and bands that was included with Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella (1979), the first album by Nurse with Wound.
There are 291 entries on the list. The list was expanded with Nurse with Wound's second album, To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl (1980).
The list was compiled by the original Nurse with Wound trio of Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill, and Heman Pathak. 
It was intended as a homage to the artists who influenced the Nurse with Wound project. 
It has since become a type of 'shopping list' for collectors of outsider and avant-garde music.

DOEPKE & KW

In the Listening Model, a set is managed by exploring a parameter space defined by five hyperparameters: n_estimators, max_depth, n_samples, n_random, and n_splits. 
The n_estimators parameter represents the number of unique tracks that can be incorporated into the set, with higher values increasing musical diversity but also adding complexity. 
max_depth controls the maximum duration allowed for transitions between tracks; when set to "None," transitions continue until the end of each track or a specified cutoff, while limiting this parameter allows for a more dynamic flow. 
The n_samples parameter dictates the minimum number of listeners required to initiate a track change, ensuring that transitions only happen when there’s sufficient audience engagement. 
n_random adjusts the randomness in track selection, with higher values introducing more variety and lower values promoting consistency. 
Finally, n_splits sets the minimum enthusiasm level required for a track to be retained in the mix, ensuring that selections resonate with listeners and contribute to a stable, engaging atmosphere. 
This parameterized approach allows the model to deliver a balanced live listening experience that adapts to audience engagement while maintaining variety and flow.
