Whew. Things been a bit chaotic for you? WEIRD, ME TOO. ;) This mix is an exploration of my relationship to chaos. Especially if chaos is a comfort zone, it can feel normal to live in extremes instead of rooting into  balance. The world is pretty wild and crazy right now, and while I can't always control my circumstances, I can control my reaction to them.

This mix was played in Seattle at OmCulture for Ecstatic Dance Seattle. It features a double peak structure, which is different than how I normally compose sets, but I had fun with it! (A version of this set with a single peak was played for Dallas Movement Collective.)
