Mixtape no. 1 (gnōthi seauton)

Mixtape no. 1 (gnothi seauton)

music to be played during

the journey to the end of night

My dear fellow passengers,

Back in 2003 I started to spend more time in front of the computer than I was used to, and a lot less than I do now. One of the things I dared to 'elaborate' back then was a fragile and poorly crafted mixtape, combining my faulty computer skills and pretentious taste in music with non-existent elementary musical abilities.
One month ago I found this mixtape in one of my old USB drivers.
I decided to finish this and the reason for this is that lately I've been feeling as I am in some sort of connection with certain parts of my past, and then finish this tape sounded like a great spiritual task, making present and past touching themselves, for a second at least.
I took off some songs and put a couple of new ones, but 80% of it still reflects the music I was listening to back in 2002/2003.
My first idea doing this tape was to create a portrait (or a map), with the music that was in my head at that time, of my personal quest, cuz I remember very well this feeling that I was living a passage, and I felt like I was in transit.
I doubt the tape was successful concerning my personal wishes, what I know is that it felt extremely good to listen to this songs thousand of times.

So, be aware that the quality of my mix is really awful, it's more about sharing this sentimental map of my past, and share my story with you here. I'll put the link here for those who perhaps are looking for some adventure and always say yes to some voyeurism.
