Spheruleus ‘Play My Tape’ Mix

Harry Towell (aka Spheruleus) is a man after our own heart: As well as composing high quality releases through his Spheruleus project and also running the excellent Audio Gourmet label, he somehow manages to find time to create superb mix installations and his recent musical exploration is in our opinion Harry’s best to date…

After two recent full length mixes ‘Marooned’ and a mix for Hibernate Records, Harry tones down the trademark hefty tracklists to create this mixtape for Earzine, a Russian web magazine.

This mix is still CD length as with the others, yet it focusses more on featuring a selection of ambient tracks that have particularly resonated with Harry over the years. The music has become the focal point for this, rather than quick harmonic transitions – although due care and attention has been paid to making it as smooth a mix as possible.

The mix opens with classical piano ambience from Saddleback before heading slowly through occasional guitar moments, most notably a 1993 classic by Loren Connors. Interluding these are various ambient releases and the stunning ‘October’ by Tim Hecker. The mix closes with Spheruleus pieces and remixes, with a track from recent album ‘Decompose‘
