The central thematic piece in this mix is Christina Kubisch' "Tea Time (Autumn Leaves Mix)", from Gruenrecorder's "Autumn Leaves" - male singers communicating as if they were birds, twittering words like "Who's awake?", "Me Too!" and "Who cooks for you?". This spring-like chatter evokes a strange and hypnotic landscape sometimes unnerving, sometimes comforting. This mix was created february - march 2008, together with "True".  It was definitely an early spring that year! --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
