i’ll meet you there

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field
I’ll meet you there.

When the world lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.

 - Rumi

i’ve come up with a new mixtape idea right after reading the post “Soundtracking: Your Workday” on Draw Us Lines. Like the Jacob, i always study with wordless music. in fact, my iTunes library has a ‘Sirf Suno’ (Just Listen) category so I don’t burst out singing.

regularly from now on, i’ll share with you selections of instrumental mixtapes that come handy while working/studying. the series is called Soundtracking Your Workday. (I know…couldn’t find a better title.) Here goes Volume One, an ambient, post-rock, instrumental mix around Yann Tiersen’s new album Dust Lane.

Nosim - Oi Va Voi | Oi Va Voi (2007)

Ashes - Yann Tiersen | Dust Lane (2010)

Mumtaz - Bombay Dub Orchestra | Bombay Dub Orchestra (2006)

Bibo no Aozoro/04 - Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jaques Morel | Babel Original Soundtrack (2006)
