"Lately, I have been grappling with the feeling that growing up and living an “adult” life has locked us into repeated sequence of obligations and hedonism, manifesting itself into a cyclical pattern of sustain and release. In this perpetual need to seek pleasure in order counter a feeling of confinement, I had forgotten what real playfulness was. I left work early one day and called my longest time friend and asked if she wanted to catch the sunset at the beach. We found ourselves running towards the shore, laughing, breathless, wind in our faces, sand whirling around us from the heavy evening gusts. In this mix I hope to recover that sense of possibility, curiosity, and attraction to mystery that I had as little girl. I found myself thinking of the garden of my home, a place where I created new worlds out of the space, and never felt confined to a pattern or path, and recalled the bright smells of plants, our stream, the sun on the wildflowers. I wanted to capture this freshness, as well as the freedom not to need much other than what was already there, while still expressing the reflective, unstructured, and often opaque feelings that come with growing up.


Why I chose these tracks:

I chose these tracks because they evoked a combination of feelings and sounds I associate with an inquisitive, exploratory part of my youth, a phase I recognize to subconsciously come back to, yearn for, and create anew in music: Sounds of rustling, soft piano, water on leaves, ambient textures which break apart and reform to new wholeness that are unafraid of exposing streaks of melancholy. These sounds are a combination of track discoveries old and new,  through myself and individuals close to my heart who have given new meaning to my memories. The tracks have delicate, yet off-kilter elements: Through the the glitch elements and bells layered over soundscapes throughout, I attempt to form a patient groove which does not know anxiety or censorship. It does not yearn to explicate or create a perfect balance, but rather explore without judgement. The linear tracks I chose have melodies which arise subtly, slowly, and sound like they are coming from far away, containing the distinct promise of something. For listeners, I hoped to create a spacious cove where there is room to be vulnerable and also dream a little on your own. "

The theme of this mix is contrast, something that is present in many of my favorite places and artworks. The mix features a combination of glitch and jazz, two very disparate genres in many ways. I tried to accentuate the contrast between old and new, synthetic and organic, ambient and 4/4 throughout the mix while allowing the ideas to continuously flow together. The tracklist is emblematic of the collection I've acquired throughout my musical journey, and features many older songs from classic electronic artists I listened to a lot growing up such as Oval, Black Dog, Biosphere, Krudger & Dorfmeister, etc. I hope your listeners enjoy what I’ve put together.
