Untitled (Meet me on the desert shore)

“Say something….”

Not too much to say about this mix, but a couple of points.

Firstly, the narrative should be easy to spot and needs no further explanation except to say that the “untitled” title is meant to be as neutral and nondescriptive as possible and in place of something corny, faux poetic or really obvious. The subtitle is a more specific reference to the conclusion, the epilogue or post-script.

It took maybe 6 months of compiling the short list, which ended up at close to 200 tracks, and then about one month of on and off preparation with two tricky bits in particular. As usual there is a lot of micro editing and some rearrangement of some tracks. The track listing has a couple of duplications which reflects this to some degree where one part of a track might be used in complete independence of a second occurrence, but the list does not contemplate tracks that come and go in short succession. In particular, Eliane Radigue’s Adnos I comes and goes several times throughout the mix and is meant to be seen as the life force as it were.

By the way, Yves Tumor is some kind of genius and makes incredible music.
