Mixes

Words by Mischa (aka Dimly) about their sonic memory: 

"When I was four years old my parents’ friends brought their six-year-old nephew to a church potluck. He and I played together for a few hours in the church gymnasium. This was the first and only time we met. While we played together I felt an emotion I have never experienced again, and have never been able to explain well with words. A very rough approximation of the emotion would be to think of all the people you have ever been close with whom you will never speak to again. Take the way that thought makes you feel with the feeling of being lovesick, or the kind of crush that makes your sternum ache.

For most of my childhood my greatest fear was becoming close to someone and then never seeing them again. I think this was the first time it ever happened to me.


My memory of this emotion is one of my strongest memories, still visceral  when summoned. I have wondered ever since if I will feel it again, and quietly kept one eye on my heart.



I also wonder if recalling the memory of this emotion so many times has completely altered the memory from the original experience, so that at this point I am waiting to feel again something I never actually felt. 


This mix is an attempt to describe an emotion I can’t describe well with words. It is also an attempt to record my current recollection of this emotion; a memento for future comparison."
