Taiji Tunes rides again!

Hi all -

due to popular request and the fact that I want it available so some people can hear it who I've suggested a project to, here is another outing for last November's eclectic-as-a-freegan's-lunch-menu mix. it's less beat-driven than other mixes I've posted on here, in fact large parts of it are positively drony (three pieces by Phill Niblock one after the other is the clue there). still, there are two chunks of beats, one at around 120bpm and one at 80/160 depending on whether you measure the Thievery Corporation remix or the Photek track straight after.

I did the mix for my taiji teacher and we have tried it out on his classes. they weren't too freaked out. it's nice for solo practice too - the idea is that it drifts in from nothing, warms up into a beaty bit, gets drony and deep, warms up again, and calms down for a little standing meditation at the end. it's an hour dead on and the file's around 84MB.

a reminder that I'm only hosting one mix at a time, so the Duophonic mix has had to go for now ...
