FOX6 editor Dave Michuda was recently one of six local television journalists inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences 'Silver Circle.' It's an honor given to television journalists who have excelled at their craft for more than 25 years in the profession. In this episode of Open Record, we bring Dave on to talk about his extensive career in broadcast journalism, what it's like to be a video editor at FOX6, and the incredible story for which Dave had a front row seat before he ever came to FOX6.

Any time you listen to an episode of Open Record, you usually hear Bryan Polcyn, Amanda St. Hilaire, and Jenna Sachs. There are times various FOX6 reporters help us out: Jason Calvi to talk politics or maybe it's Derica Williams to talk education. But there are several others behind the scenes who help edit, publish, and post the podcast so it reaches your ears. In this edition of Open Record, Bryan Polcyn invites Executive Producer Sara Smith and editor Dave Michuda on to talk about how this podcast goes from an outline via email to an edited piece of audio you can download on your favorite podcast app. You'll learn how this podcast has adapted amid a pandemic, the process from start to publication, and how doing something that's audio-only differs from what we do on a day-to-day basis working at a television station that uses a visual medium. Plus, get the inside scoop on the very scientific process this FOX6 team goes through twice a week to come up with the perfect podcast title.
A collaboration mix with Dave Michuda from Low Light Mixes: "5 minutes each turn. Start with a 5-minute track, increase the sample count each turn (next turn 2, next turn 3, next turn 4…) until we reach 60 minutes… (last 5 minutes contain 6 samples each turn). See what happens." --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
Peter van Cooten of Ambientblog is no stranger to Headphone Commute. We have been musing on our discoveries for almost a decade now, exchanging mixes and words in a tightly knit musical network. His first mix for Headphone Commute podcast appeared back in 2011, titled Dawn Secrets and it features many of my favourite artists to this day. I think it's only fair to say that Dave Michuda of Low Light Mixes is also part of the said "network", with his first mixed for Headphone Commute appearing in August of 2010 (also a decade ago), titled The Landscape Listens. For this special syndicated podcast, Dave and Peter create a cooperative voyage, each taking their turns to conduct and manoeuvre this ship in complex sonic waters to deliver you safely ashore, while in the process forever tattooing their message on your map of existence. Enjoy! For a more detailed description, full track listing and more information about this mix, please visit headphonecommute.com

I'm very honoured to present this collaboration mix with Dave Michuda from Low Light Mixes, who has been a source of inspiration from the very beginning of Ambientblog.net. When we talked (or rather: mailed, since Wisconsin and Holland are not exactly near) about creating a mix together, we chose not to go for a 'simple' back-to-back exchange but gave ourselves an objective without knowing where this would lead to:5 minutes each turn. Start with a 5minute track, increase the sample count each turn (next turn 2, next turn 3, next turn 4…) until we reach 60 minutes… (last 5 minutes contain 6 samples each turn). See what happens.

If you listen back, most of my mixes have a rather dark edge to them. There's always a lot of 'tension/release' - but in this case, it seems there's a bit more 'tension' than 'release'. Sign of the times, probably…I tried to find another name (and image) for this mix, but it seems that only one title remained appropriate at this time.I'm very proud that this mix is also published on Dave Michuda's great Low Light Mixes blog.

https://ia601303.us.archive.org/26/items/AmbientSoundbathPodcast/asb73.mp3 Good salutations, Soundbath listeners… I’m really excited for this program as it’s the first to feature a guest host. I actually got this idea from Dave Michuda, host of Low Light Mixes, after he asked me to do a mix for him (you can hear it here). This program features longtime reviewer, podcaster,…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #73 – This Quiet Place
Greetings. If this posting title seems a bit apocalyptic (or cryptic), well, it kind of is. I've done a lot of deep thinking over the last few months and I've decided that it's time to send the spaceman home and end the mission. It's been a fun journey, and the experience of creating mixes and meeting people has been unreal. I have to say, that I really only set out to make a few mixes, maybe have a blog for about a year at the most, and move on. It turned out to be a bit more than that, and the time and effort that I put into making it (somewhat) successful has been very overwhelming at times. I really enjoy making the mixes, finding the tunes within my library, listening, working on the site, and so on and so forth. It was kind of a test to see if I even had an aptitude to do such a thing (many, many thanks to Dave Michuda for getting me up and running due to the endless inquiries). Still not sure if I have the aptitude for it all, but I really enjoyed it.----more----I believe that in the last year my work and promotion seemed a bit sterile and to be a one-man operation was not yielding what I had hoped. My initial wish was at one point to do all of this as collaborative affair, but it never worked out that way. I believe that's why I was so happy to host sessions from others; it gave me a chance to build relationships within this world that would not exist otherwise. The most rewarding part was communicating with someone from the other side of the world (and sometimes having language barriers) about something that both of us were equally excited about: the music! Without others, I would have quit this long ago. I'm just as excited creating the last mix as I was the first, no kidding. But now I feel as though I need an extended hiatus to recapture many things that are (were?) important to me (like playing non-stop with my kids, playing my guitar for hours on end, going to bed on time, exercising regularly, finishing my degree (very, very close), writing my own music and recording (and getting better at it), fishing, reading novels, etc., etc., etc........). I believe that it's best that I step away for at least a bit before it all becomes uninspiring. You know, kind of end on a least a bit of a high note.With this final mix, I wanted to introduce some moods and sounds that have really captured my ears and encouraged me offer the best that I can as a swan song. For this reason, I chose to make my last session just a little bit long, but not too long that you will lose focus. That was always the intent of my mission.I got a lot of my co-workers listening and hooked on ambient music and digging on my mixes during our hours long drives, and for that I'm very proud of my accomplishment. A few of them are hooked, and I supply them with tasty new sessions that they talk with me about. It's kind of ridiculous; I'm a professional touring musician (my 'work' is very contradictory to my ambient sessions) playing with the highest caliber artists in the world and this minimal world is very comfortable for me. I was told (often) that I had become the 'sleep DJ' guy. Kind of proud of that!Anyhow, that's it. If there is anyone in cyberspace that enjoyed what I did, I'm very pleased to have given you peace. Time will tell if getting this up and going again is a valid hobby for me. I just may, but I need to re-calibrate my thoughts and priorities.It goes without saying that I definitely appreciated the support from the many amazing people within the community of listeners. As always, support the artists. Turn on, tune in, sleep...http://ambient-transmission.blogspot.comwww.facebook.com/tonepoetmusic**cease transmission//tonepoet//
This mix is inspired by the talented Dave Michuda from "low light mixes". His highly polished, finely curated Ambient mixes are such a treat to listen to, and I've grown a fan of his work ever since discovering him a year or so ago.
It still hasn't snowed on the east coast of the US. The temperature does dip below 30, but then there are days when it's over 50 degrees, and the sun is blaring into my studio, its warmth so strong I still haven’t turned on the heat. The trees have shed their withered leaves, but the earth is too warm for the flurries to stay. This latest mix from Dave Michuda is perfect for this morning. Titled Illusions of Autumn, the selector behind low light mixes takes you on an eclectic trip through Arve Henriksen, Daniel Lanois, Harold Budd, Steve Tibbetts, Maps and Diagrams and more...

Today we’re presenting to you one of our favorite ambient journeys from Low Light Mixes. Although this mix was made in the dead of winter, we still feel that its calm nature can soothe away your daily worries, stress and aches. It definitely hits the spot on this side of the mixing board. Here’s Dave Michuda talking about the inspiration behind the mix: It’s the dead of winter, just trying to outlast the snow and cold, trying to make it to spring break. The music in this mix has a sort of lonely winter feel to it. The tracks are not too dark or depressing, they just seem to conger up images of vast, snowy landscapes.
