Autumn is my favorite season! I love how beautiful and melancholy it is, as the sunlight hits lower and lower with each passing day, and the leaves on the trees burn brighter colors as everything DIES.
Musically, this is when my taste turns to pastoral IDM, gorgeous post-rock, and amber-hued electronica. I made this mix while living in Brooklyn; my first fall with our dog Tycho. I was inspired by our walks through Prospect Park.
This is not a typical DJ mix, as there is very little beat-matching. Instead, I layered ambient textures in key, with very minimal effects to create a journey that flows together harmoniously.
As soon as I finished it I put it on my headphones and went on an afternoon stroll through the park and listened through the whole thing. I recommend doing the same! Be prepared for introspection and tears LOL
