In my particular sector upon Mother Earth, the days are getting shorter and colder, and seeing the sun in the morning is a ceremony that seems lost. Even with sleep being a hobby of mine, I nonetheless cherish that small bit of time that I get to spend watching the sun birth from the edge of the world. It takes longer and longer, and I often wonder if I will indeed spend the entire season in the shadows while anticipating a daily thaw from that voyaging star of illumination.

Hello to all of you travelers floating in the ether. It's not anything new: times are tough, and 2020 is turning out to be a disappointing year with a lot of turmoil, unrest, and terrifying unknowns. Is there nowhere to go to escape the problems of the modern age?

Once again, it is time to amalgamate a tapestry derived from the goldmine of Bandcamp (and beyond). As the weather begins to melt the frigid layer of our hibernating pods, we begin to see, hear, and feel our beloved Mother Earth awaken.

Now that we've dipped our toes into the celestial heavens on our last voyage (in effort to gauge the cascading ripples of the skyward current), it is safe to say that the celestial oceans are now at ideal conditions for our immersion. Current systems here at Spaceman's Transmissions are at 100% capacity for a deep dive to the depths of that twilight beyond own galactic curtain.

Hello, and many greetings, dear listeners. I wandered a bit off course in effort to calibrate the controls to enable us optimal performance in drifting above the grey clouds above that we believe to our limitations. Let us be on our voyage.

Let's embark to a distant whereabouts that is virtually impossible to see through the clouds. It's there, but you won't see it if you fail to imagine and visualize. Your imagination and belief will permit you to soar into the wind and higher than the reaches of turbulence and static.

Salutations, my friends. We've had a good few voyages that have led us to new creative boundaries, and it is yet again time to board the space pod for a trek into and through the majestic cosmos. We'll be temporarily enveloped in the sparkling light that illuminates the non-reflective void of space as we set the controls for a new destination of solace and beauty.

When the skies turn grey, our minds tend to close in on themselves as an attempt to both provide cover for our fragile creative grey matter as well as a spiritual shield that helps us fast forward to the next sunny day, the next bright moment.

Who I am, what I do, and why...
I really enjoy creating these mixes, and I choose to do this as a hobby. There’s something about taking a piece of music that I love and creating a bigger picture with it. It goes from being fertile seed to a populous and lush garden or even a forest. I really hope that my intentions of developing themes and creating deeper moments resonates with you. I will never just slap together random stuff that just doesn’t create a flow, that’s too lazy.
I used play guitar professionally, and have all my life (except for a brief period when I got sick of the music business), and I’ve travelled the world clutching my guitar while seeing (and hearing) some amazing things along the way. I lived in Germany for 10 years as a musician, and got to see so much of Europe through the eyes of a traveling musician. I have memories of sleeping on the train station benches, grasping my guitar and waiting for a way to the next gig. Despite the hunger and being surrounded by sketchy people and thinking 'this sucks', I still wouldn't trade that experience for anything. I have, along the way, made a very good living through music, and have a somewhat comfortable life now. What I play on guitar is not what I mix, not even close, so I enjoy the 'left field' aspect of mixing. Music is my hobby, and was my profession; it never gets tiring. Other than that, I like playing frisbee and baseball with my kids, riding my bike, and drinking tasty coffee.
For those interested, I've released my own ambient compositions, which you can find at my TONEPOET artist site. The music is all free, and I'll continue making it until someone tells me to stop. And I'll probably make some more after that.
One thing, I owe a super-huge shoutout and thanks to Dave Michuda at LOW LIGHT MIXES that gave me tons of advice how to get things up and running. Super respectable guy, great music aficionado, and invaluable resource. Dave pretty much sets the standard for the rest of us. Thanks, Dave!
Turn on, tune in, sleep...

Artist Submissions
I'm not in this to make money, or anything. My reward has been hearing some good comments here and there, making musical connections with like-minded people (the best part), and being stoked about creating my next offering. I'm also all about people sending me original music to use in mixes (I find this to be absolutely flattering).
You can read about artist submissions for my podcasts HERE.
If you want to get in contact with me for whatever, you can do so at tonepoetry(at)gmail(dot)com. I'm sure that you can figure all of that out. I'd love to hear from you.
