    Summer Of Resonance by Faru

    Most mixes posted here are around one hour in length. There needs to be a good reason to go well beyond that time. Well, this guest mix is a good reason to go long. This set comes to us from Faru - https://faru.bandcamp.com/music He has done a bunch of mixes over the years including for the Deep Breakfast series & Silent Season's Campfire Stories. You can find those mixes here - https://soundcloud.com/faruambient/sets/my-mixes Here's what he says about this 4-hour set: "The sun comes through the leaves in pieces, slow shifting fragments that move across your skin like something deliberate. The air smells of warm grass and blooming, that specific fullness of spring when everything is happening at once. Pollen drifts through the light, weightless, golden, the leaves quietly dancing. Birds in the canopy. Voices not close enough to make out, just the shape of people being easy with each other, flowing past like part of the same current. The specific gravity and warm energy of another being, close. Three hours passing, or maybe more. Your breathing has slowed to match something you can't name but can feel. You are not waiting for anything. Just here, inside this particular moment. Which turns out to be everything."  Faru said he likes a 4-hour mix because he wants the music to start being the environment. This mix envelopes you and does become part of the surrounding space. Thanks for a great mix!

    Just My Type(records)

    Recently I was messaging with LLM guest mixer, Roquen Lómë, about Type records - an experimental record label that was active from 2003 to 2013. Founded by John Twells & Stefan Lewandowski in the U.K., Type released some creative music in those ten years ranging from delicate piano to sculptured noise to glitchy electronica to ambient to psych folk. I thought it would be fun to create a mix of music from Type records catalog - then I looked at that catalog and, wow they sure did release a ton of music. There's no way to make an exhaustive review of their releases so I decided to go chronologically through some of my favorites. That still only scratched the surface, I think I have more than 40 Type records in my collection.  It was nice listening to some of the recordings for the first time in years and I hope you too enjoy this little trip into the past. Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Mokira - Untitled #3 (Album 2003) 04:25   Deaf Center - Walk (Neon City 2004) 07:21   Golden - Door of Our Home (Corduroy Road 2005) 10:37   Julien Neto - I(one) (Le Fumeur de Ciel 2005) 13:35   North Sea & Rameses III - Night Blossom Written in Sanskrit (Night of the Ankou 2005) 19:19   Xela - Bobble Hats In Summer (For Frosty Mornings And Summer Nights 2007) 25:08   The Alps - Trem Fanstasma (iii 2008) 31:14   Richard Skelton - Grange (Marking Time 2008) 34:00   Koen Holtkamp - You Mean The World To Me (Field Rituals 2008) 36:20   Grouper - We've All Time To Sleep (Dragging a Dead Deer Up A Hill 2008) 39:12   Helios - Hope Valley Hill (Caesura 2008) 44:05   Black To Comm - Hotel Freund (Alphabet 1968 2009) 47:57   Jóhann Jóhannsson - Pods (And in the Endless Pause There Came the Sound of Bees 2009) 50:55   Ezekiel Honig - Drafting Foresight (Folding In On Itself 2011) 54:35   Sylvain Chauveau - The Unbroken Line (Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated) 2010) 57:41   end

  3. The Joy of Trains by Paul Asbury Seaman

    The Joy of Trains by Paul Asbury Seaman

    Another train mix? Another Berlin-school mix? Yes and hell yes! I've been struggling to keep up with creating new mixes and then, like a train pulling into the station right on time, Paul comes to me with a new mix. Perfect timing! This one has tunes that are all fairly recent so it was fun to hear new stuff or discover new artists. I'm always up for new Berlin-school music and this set from Paul does that with long, evolving tracks that suck you in and keep you going. Here's what Paul says about his latest collection: "I expect that for people who commute to work by train, there’s not much novelty in it. But most of my train-themed mixes imagine a long-distance trip where the journey itself is the experience and the destination somewhere in your imagination. As I’ve said before, sequencer-based “Berlin School” synthesizer music is a natural fit to evoke the subtle, hypnotic rhythms of travel by train. The six artists in this set were all new to me this year—and what a joy it has been to discover them." Thanks again, Paul, for this wonderful collection of train tracks. Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Jim Kirkwood - Tenebrae-The Moonbeam Road (Souls That Dance on the Edge of a Sword 2021) 09:27   L.V.

    Quiet Fusion 2026

    A little over a year ago I posted a mix of quiet fusion jazz tunes which I really enjoyed curating. So it was only a matter of time before I made another and here it is. This mix has some of the same artists as the first one - Mile Davis, Soft Machine, Gong, Jean-Luc Ponty, Brand X, along with new additions. Not surprisingly, most of the tracks are from the 1970s, a few from the 80s and one new track by Elephant9 released in 2024. Here's the first quiet fusion mix - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/quiet-fusion/ I still plan on doing a straightforward fusion mix but for now this quiet set will do nicely. It's perfect early morning coffee music.

    WABI SABI by Daniel Hawkins

    I've been super busy lately so it's perfect timing for another wonderful guest mix from friend of the feed, Daniel Hawkins. Daniel has done 4 mixes for LLM, each of them a great ambient journey. You can find them here: Amiably Ambient The Silence Between Dark Woods Metallic Memories   "This one takes some thoughtful curating to come up with such a cohesive set. Here what Daniel has to say about the mix:   "Wabi Sabi conveys feelings of desolation and solitude. Within Mahayana Buddhism these can be considered positive traits, representing release from the material world and the possibility of transcendence to a simpler life. As Mahayana philosophy emphasizes direct experience over verbal explanation, Wabi Sabi may be best understood in a non-verbal, experiential way. According to Richard Powell, "Wabi Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect." Many forms of Japanese art have been influenced by Zen and Mahayana philosophy over the past thousand years. The contemplation and acceptance of imperfection, as well as the awareness of constant flux and impermanence, have been particularly important to Japanese arts and culture. Awareness of the transience of all things heightens appreciation of their beauty, and evokes a gentle sadness at their passing. So I’d been working on this mix for months - adding metallophonic cuts that caught my fancy - as a follow up to last year’s Metallic Memories mix.  The mix got to over 3 hours - and I wasn’t sure Dave would be amused.  They were all good pieces of music - but I thought maybe a tighter focus would make a more cohesive mix.  As I trimmed it down the Wabi Sabi theme seemed to fit the mood and I think makes a nice set.  I hope you agree."   Thanks for another fantastic mix, Daniel.   Cheers!   [ s t r e a m ]    [ d o w n l o a d ]    [ a p p l e _ p o d c a s t s ]   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Anaamaly - I Am Inspired by Possibility (Urban Metta, Vol. 2 2017) 06:10   Masayoshi Fujita - As Dusk Falls(Feat.

    Hushed Whispers by Roquen Lómë

    I am listening to this guest mix as I type this and I am loving this set. Curated by Roquen Lómë, this is a wonderful collection of tracks for slowing down, for introspection. You can find some of his stuff on Mixcloud - https://www.mixcloud.com/roguenlome/ Here's what he has to say about the mix: "There's something magical about listening to music late at night. You can dim the lights or turn them off entirely and immerse yourself in the sound. Your perception shifts just enough to highlight subtle noises, making any voices feel intimately near, though sometimes they may not be real. At times, they exist, and other times, they arise from your imagination or the onset of sleep. Most of the used tracks feature some form of vocal or whisper-like quality, though they may not always be tied to a human voice. I still tend to include vocal-driven songs into my mixes to provide an engaging contrast to the predominantly ambient and electronic sounds, ensuring the listener remains alert throughout the journey." Thanks for a lovely mix! Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00  Colin Stetson - Morning Of (The First 2018) 02:13  Anne Müller - Solo? Repeat!

    Current Ambient Obsessions April 2026

    We've had a few guest mixes recently with a couple more on the way so I figured we needed a straightforward ambient mix in between all the guest sets. This mix features all music from 2026, except the track by Slow Dancing Society & zakè which is from 2025. This also features some of my favorite ambient albums of the year so far: > Six Missing - drift, sway > James Murray - Solitude and Silence > Clariloops - As The Light Fades > David Cordero - La Imagen Muda   LINKS TO ALL THE MUSIC USED IN THIS MIX: https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/la-imagen-muda https://sixmissing.bandcamp.com/album/drift-sway https://slowcraft.bandcamp.com/album/solitude-and-silence https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/the-quiet-below https://arborescence32.bandcamp.com/album/bouquet-sauvage https://zakedrone.bandcamp.com/album/stars-silence https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-and-unbound https://kordelrecords.bandcamp.com/album/les-id-es https://davidcordero.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-make-sense-of-downtime https://anthene.bandcamp.com/album/great-plains https://secretdomainlabel.bandcamp.com/album/heavenchord-infinity-dots-armenia  The mix is very chill, very ambient.

    Train to Redemption by Paul Asbury Seaman

    We are in for a real treat with this latest guest mix from Paul Asbury Seaman. Paul has done a bunch of "train" mixes over the years. He has also done several Berlin-School mixes. This one could be my favorite combo of the two themes.    This wonderful mix plays right into my current obsession with the Berlin-School subgenre. I can't say enough about how much I love this mix. As I have stated here previously, I've been on a Berlin-School bender for the last few years. Although, now that I think about it, my return to this style has gone on long enough that it is no longer a bender or binge. It's just outright love for this genre.    Paul has created an absolute gem so I'll let him tell you more about it:   “People get ready…” Popular culture, especially in music, has long used the association with trains as an image of redemption. Part of the seductive appeal of long-distance travel is that something we experience might change or enlighten us. On a train we are free of the obligations and stress of driving, but also have a more private, sedentary experience conducive to withdrawing into ourselves than on a boat, a ship or a plane, yet--to emphasize the metaphorical lesson--in stillness we are also moving forward. This is the paradox: hurtling across the landscape (or through time) while sitting comfortably, without moving. Watching. Rejuvenating."  Thanks again, Paul, for curating this fantastic collection of train tracks. ;-)  Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Hollan Holmes - So Far Away (The Sanctity of Rust 2026) 04:55   Rudy Adrian - Rail Corridor(Rocky Mtns, Colorado) (Concerts In The USA 2003) 13:50   Robert Rich - Sky Tunnel (Electric Ladder 2006) 22:08   DTime - A Gleaming Silver Thread (Weaving A Dream 2024) 37:33   Aleksi Perälä - FI3AC2513503 (GRACE 15 2025) 42:54   Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen - Undercurrents of Change (Unfolding Skies 2026) 48:04   Alba Ecstasy - Reverie Two (Berlin School Reveries, Vol. 1 2025) 58:40   Dream Sequence - Turn off the lights (Live at The ICA 2026) 67:37   David Helpling & Eric Taylor - For Those in Shadow (The Precious Dark 2025) 73:33   Lars Tellmann - Midwinter Train (Komorebi Winterlight 2026) 78:54   end
