star dimmer

new mix by yours truly...i wanted to create a sensual situation that moves through dark places and into a blissful, cozy warmth... at least, i hope these emotions shine through. the set was spontaneously assembled in one take; overall it's more raw and dynamic than my previous mix (with a few rough blends), but i think there's an interesting sort of tension and depth because of it, balanced nicely with the dust and pops of the vinyl. something for bedtime, something for lovers...

49 minutes long, and created, (like all my mixes) with vinyl records in one take. i used shure whitelabel cartridges, technics 1200mk2's, and a vestax pc-175 mixer interfaced with audacity 1.3beta; then i applied a simple boost to the levels (it's still a bit quiet, oh well), and converted to mp3@320.

thanks as always to those who understand and inspire! extra hugs to elly and andrew, and my music friends around the world... enjoy!
