Lonely Lovers Vol 2

Lonely Lovers Vol. 2

The story for this volume is that of the same man, who left the voice mail message for his ex. But this time a friend of his is checking up on him, trying to get him to come to a party. The friend brings up a CD the man has made, which contains songs that remind him of his ex. He plays it everyday.
The man doesn't listen to his friend, and deletes the message as soon as he brings up the CD. He then puts in on, sits down on the edge of his bed and listens.

I originally had hoped to record a phone conversation and use that as the basis for the story, but it couldn't be done this month. Look out for that in the future.
The songs and story changed quite often throughout the month. I had settled on a selection of songs, and the story but changed my mind 2 days ago.
Happy with the selection of music, but need to work on the story part of the mix more. I finished recording everything at 3:30am last night, but woke up this morning and made some changes. Trying to get it as perfect as possible.

Recorded a bunch of sound for the story, all the sounds you hear were recorded by me, wish I took more time to work on the story. That's something I promise will be better in the future mixes. The audio will be mixed better and the story itself will be fleshed out more.

I initially was settling on a more ambient themed mix, but it just didn't feel right. It felt way too sad. And it just didn't flow correctly all together. I cheated using Bill Evans and Ben Webster for a second month in a row, but god dam son they're too good to leave out. I could do a whole mix on Bill Evans alone.

A lot of these songs are songs that I was listening to a long time ago and I always wanted to do something with them. Film is too fucking lame, so it's nice to finally have a medium where I can share these songs.

Already looking forward to next months mix. Planned something nice, that I hope I can pull off.

Sit back and think of a love that isn't around anymore, or share it with one that is.
Enjoy.
