If your ears and spirit need an ambient reboot, you could do worse than this gorgeous, abstract wash of sound pieced together from two wonderful Spanish artists.
From bzzzbip, aka multimedia artist Antònia Folguera, and about:blank!, a photographer/filmmaker/artist, comes this project in sonic exchange. Antònia writes:
About:Blank! and I exchanged songs via email and dropbox in order to put together an abstract ambient mixtape. When we were done with the selection I mixed the first half, and he did the other half. If it were an actual mixtape that would be side A and side B. this is the result. I hope that you enjoy it!
about:blank!’s poetic imagery fits the mix nicely, so it seems only right to pair this gallery with the mix (tracklist below). And the timing couldn’t be better – with Flickr’s relaunched interface, you can go muse on images in high resolution:
