Experience Sound

I am a sound designer & audio engineer. I love to experience sound. I am currently working on a Chill-Out Mix on Napster. I won't list the whole mix here, because some of them are obvious to most people. Perhaps, when it is complete I will post a track list, or a link to it on Napster. In the mean time I will throw out some rare gems that you may have to dig to find. Or at least, I have dug to found them.

Of course everyone's version of chill-out music is different. I tend to be attracted to deep thought provoking music sometimes, and more trance pop music other times.

This is my Deep Thought Chill Out Mix.

Peter Gabriel - "Don't Give Up" (The Original) - There is a live version that is pretty cool, but a slower and less haunting rendition. So, for chillin I choose the original. It has a slightly less whiny effect, the words are clearer, and it is well produced.

U2 - "Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World" - A nice upbeat trip through a Dali-esque musical painting.

Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes" (Secret World Live) - normally I would be absolutely true to the original, but the life recording is just as intense but with a slight Caribbean swing that gives the song an upbeat chill factor.

We also have some John Mellencamp Cougar Whatever. Still lookin' for some god Bob Seger. Some other tracks, and we havent even gotten modern yet. Stay tuned for the best chill mix tape to come out of the summer of 'o8.
