Mark Tamea Mix

A special mix to conclude 2009.
This also is the last upload of the mixes that were created for radio. 
2010 will start off with new mixes exclusively created for this weblog.

Like "Sounds of Spellborn" (published last week) this mix is different from most previous mixes, in that it does not include many different artists, but concentrates on the music of one single artist: Mark Tamea.

Tamea is a composer from England, currently living in Nijmegen (Holland).
His music is a fascinating combination of electronics, environmental sounds, musique concrête, acoustical an modern classical music.

When I hear the music he creates, I can imagine the wondrous feelings Alice must have had when exploring Wonderland: landscapes vaguely familiar yet alienating, a new surprise at every corner...

Traktora

His latest CD is 'Tessellation' (2008). Tessellation defines the recurring pattern in tiles - in graphic art this is best known by the work of M.C. Escher.
One reviewer said “It has the mystery of the Mona Lisa smile” - and that is exactly how I feel about it.

Apart from music from Tessellation, this mix also features work from older Tamea albums:  Buried Traktora, The Paignton Anomaly en Distant Suns.

This Mark Tamea mix was created for dutch radio in march 2009. Quite a lot of listeners reacted to this broadcast - but the very best compliment to this mix came from Mark Tamea himself when he wrote me: "You managed to surprise me with my own music!"
Well - Tamea's music certainly surprised me, too!
And for now I do expect it will also surprise you!

Peter, excellent Tamea mix. What’s the track around 27min? With the vox about conciousness. Love It!


PvC | 27-12-’09 13:05

Haven’t got the exact timings at hand, but I think you’re referring to ‘Odium’ from ‘Buried Traktora’.


Mark Tamea | 28-12-’09 21:22

I think the tracks you are referring to are ‘What We Know, Triplicate’ which has the vocal sample “In spite of pain…” – which is later mixed into ‘Odium’ with the sample “Behind the curtain of everyday consciousness…”
These are both from Buried Traktora – very glad you like it! – Mark
