Christmas isn't the only time for giving! If you were around this summer, you experienced the music creation Blake & Dan created: a sizzling summer soundtrack for all of you to enjoy. AND now that it's winter... they're at it again! I still listen to my summer mix, so I am so excited to have a new winter one to share with you.
Check out the details below. It's a great day for winter music and it's all yours for free!
How this project came to be...
What:
Winter music mix collaboration between filmmaker H. Blake Edwards (@hbedward) and graphic designer Dan Romanoski (@DanIsMoney)
Process:
We had fun collaborating on a mix we did together this past summer, so we went for it again this winter using the same process. We flip a coin to see who handles the first half of the mix and who handles the second. Dan won the toss and chose the first 7 songs and designed the “Snow” portion of the cover art while I (Blake) chose the last 7 songs and designed the “Drift” portion of the cover art. We chose our songs and designed our pieces completely independent of one another and then brought everything together this week to see what we had created and to share with everyone. I thought we came up with something really fun and winter-centric. The most pleasant surprise was how we both ended up incorporating diamonds in the center of our cover art halves. Not planned Such a cool design coincidence. Really tied the cover art together.
Dan: I'm not a huge fan of winter. It's cold. My knuckles dry out and bleed, so it hurts. But when I picked out these songs I was in the Bahamas with my family on a Christmas cruise, enjoying the sun and 80 degree temps. My song selection was heavily influenced by that mish-mosh of things.
Blake: I'm not the biggest fan of Winter. To me, the cold weather and leafless trees in Winter represent a process of death and sleep that makes room for the new and different of Spring. It's not the most comfortable process, but is often necessary to bring about change. And you always appreciate Spring more after bitter cold that makes your fingers and toes hurt. My collection of songs follows that process. The last push of Fall, reflection on everything that made the past year what it was, the hard process of dying to self, and the hope of new life that Spring will bring out of that process.

Enjoy!

It's almost December!
Christmas Tunes & Love times 2!
Sometimes a little folksie music just makes your day better, especially when you want to fall in love, or daydream riding in a car with the windows rolled down. That's what I feel like when I listen to this music. - That or hiding in a cabin somewhere and watching the leaves fall while I sit under the covers pondering all the love lost and gained. I told you I was sentimental today. My favorites on "We both was young" is Love in the After Life, I am the deep blue sea, We will Fall in Love, Your Eyes... pretty much the whole CD.
To listen to "We Both Was Young," or the new EP Release "Secret in this Town" (which I haven't listened to long enough to pick a favorite yet.) See Mark Mathis.
And to feel sentimental in a different way and a little electronically encouraged... here's another wonderful favorite that just came out yesterday; Imogene Heap!!!! If you're not sure if you want to purchase the CD, you can listen to it free, through Sound Cloud, for a period of time. It's a good day for free music!!! :) (But you'll have to turn off my music player at the bottom of the screen to enjoy the new Imogene.)
I love First Train Home.... and I love free things.
A Sentimental Moment and A lot of Free Music.
