This set has been in the works for the last few months, and speaks to the way I've been feeling of late. These songs, some new, some old, have a particular resonance to them. Perhaps it's the minor key most are composed in; or the powerful bass lines; or the haunting vocal quality; or even the sadness that pervades them in one way or another. Whatever it is, they all have a certain feeling of melancholy to them, that drove me to bring them together this way.
This set also marks my first foray into "harmonic mixing;" that is, putting songs together based on their musical key, as well as their tempo. It makes the set smoother, and I'm really pleased with the overall effect.
I hope you will enjoy listening to "Melancholia" as much as I enjoyed making it. Even if it's not among your favorites, perhaps it will find a place for those moments when you need something with this "voice."
