Ben Watt / Winter Aconite - Deep Folk Mixtape 7 by Ben Watt published on 2016-12-24T09:49:05Z Winter Aconite - Deep Folk Mixtape 7 I stumbled across a recording of a weather report from the Burns’ Day storm of 1990 during which more than ninety people lost their lives. It inspired me to make this latest Deep Folk Mixtape. I chose songs and field recordings that all deal with winter and the Christmas season - a period of reflection and loss but also coming together and regeneration. [Found sound: Weather report, London Volmet South, The Burns Day Storm 1990] [Overdub: Synth] The Roches - Star of Wonder Smoke Fairies - Snowglobe Blizzard [Field recording: Winter wren, Nova Scotia] Yazoo - Winter Kills [Field recording: Winter dogs and birds] [Found sound: Weather report, RAF Volmet] Calexico - Green Grows the Holly Bill Callahan - Winter Road [Field recording: Old car starting in winter] Lisa Hannigan - Snow [Field recording: Christmas bells] Nico - Winter Song Sean Smith - I Can’t Wait for Winter [Field recording: Dog barking] Midlake - Winter Dies [Field recording: Church bells, Princes Street, Edinburgh] The Durutti Column - Sketch for Winter [Field recording: Alexanderplatz, Christmas song and Hare Krishna] Mixed by Ben Watt with additional space echo, found sounds and field recordings. Recorded Dec 23 2016. This is a non-commercial, non-profit mix. If you like any of the artists featured, please seek them out and buy their music.

Thank you, Ben, very much. A perfect soundtrack for a very hard winter season this year with an approaching loss in my family. I have listened to this mix over and over since hearing it for the first time just after Christmas. It captures a certain mood that must grip many for a host of reasons at this time of year, feeling so separate from festivities. And I was so very happy to hear Durutti Column to finish. 2017-01-11T03:26:20Z Comment by Ricárdo Werson Werson Always beautiful!
