Huge thank you to my PDX friend Marcus Fischer for putting together this guest mix. I have known him for over a decade, and before he went ambient big w/ 12k he was the one putting together all the ambient show fliers and playing most of them (all for free of course). He is the guy that you go on tour with and he plays different sets every show while you play the same exact thing every stop. He is the best!https://marcus-fischer.bandcamp.comhttp://mapmap.ch 0:00 MINAMO & MOSKITOO - “Atypical Dialogue” - Superstition 6:27 Sam Prekop - “September Remember” - Comma (Coming August 21st, 2020 - Thrill Jockey) 11:15 Pantha du Prince & The Bell Laboratory - “Wave” - Elements of Light 15:06 Collen - “The Golden Morning Breaks” - The Golden Morning Breaks 19:57 Daniel Schmidt - “And the Darkest Hour is Just Before Dawn” - In My Arms, Many Flowers 27:42 Світлана Охріменко - “III Episode” - Original Performed Soundtrack Transilvania Smile 33:23 Emily A.
