Music Favorites

One of the biggest pleasures in life, at least to me, is being recommended music by friends and strangers. Even if I don't end up liking it too much, I really tend to appreciate the recommendation. And when I actually like the music being recommended, I feel a sense of connection and joy.

I do realize that this warm feeling of human connection and of mutual understanding cannot ever be reproduced via a static one-to-many broadcast of music recommendations like the one below, but still, I am sharing some music that is dear to my heart, also because I would love if more people did this on their personal sites.


Assorted live music favorites

Seen her live like 5 times, and it never gets old. This is one of my favorite performances of hers.

Such a nice rendition of an already beautiful song. Wish he was still alive. :(



Classical / Impressionist Piano

One each of my favorite composers :)



Guitars

Roughly ordered from calm to .. not calm. Buckethead is featured twice, because of his insane range of musical output.

Bucketheads guitar shredding is something else.



Irish / Flute

Such a beautiful song. The flutist is Alan Doherty, who also played the flute on the soundtrack of the Lord of the Rings movies.

Takeoff at the end ;-) (also, the whole album is top notch)



Meditative / Ambient / Downtempo

Less is more :)

My friend Marika played this when we were laying in the grass ontop of a hill, one summer night. Reminds me of all the good in my life :)

Life goal: See/hear CBL live at least once.



Psychedelic / Psychedelic-Rock stuff



Bass Music / Electronic

.. enough bass to rearrange your furniture :D

A live recording of a free-style improvised concert at the HR Giger Museum

This one tickles the brain. Use good headphones for the full effect :)



Dub / Reggae

Two of my favorite Bob Marley songs, back to back :)

A super relaxed dub mix
