Chitra Podcast #23 Akira Film Script Post-Tape Mix
The core premise of this mix, like any good modal jazz album, is a return to a root; herein Jim Marjoram's long-form composition Timeless - Meditation is our cornerstone that we return to 4 times, in 4 parts over the 1.5 hour sonic excursion.
This is a journey through modern ambient with many twists and turns; less about a track-by-track DJ mix, and more informed by greats like Jeff Mills in creating a sonic journey - effectively painting with each composition to create a larger work of art; a sonic collage, of sorts. 3-input mix (digital, cassette/vinyl (shared input channel), and CD), direct to tape. There are tape imperfections and fallouts that are subtle and some noticeable; all intentional — this was recorded to tape that's quite used, and over 40 years old from production.
