AMBIENT SESSIONS - in memoriam Mind Over MIDI


A few days ago we learned of the death of the Norwegian producer Helge Tømmervåg, better known as Mind over MIDI. No further information on the event has been given, however it is an irreparable loss for those of us who knew his incessant work.
Undoubtedly, he is a major figure in terms of quality and electronic production, with dozens of releases over several decades, perhaps not properly appreciated as it should be, leaving a great musical legacy.



Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg crafted electronic sounds since the early '80s. His earliest work recorded under the now-familiar Mind over MIDI moniker arrived in the early '90s. He released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.
 
"Electronic music for daydreamers and nighthinkers. Inspired by the icy winds, snowy vistas and frozen landscapes in Norway."

As a tribute and as a way to remember him, I made a mix only with his tracks, with respect and affection.

DRONE DAY 2023

  Today is Drone Day and to celebrate it I gave myself the task of making an extended mix, a kind of massive drone. My idea was to choose tracks that are important to me, so its origins go back about 10 years ago, when I met and began to delve into Drone and Ambient Drone music. As someone who loves collecting music and making mixes, I always wanted to do something with those tracks that made me like and love this kind of music. The result was a selection of representative tracks from that time, and with a length a little longer than I expected, I really enjoyed delving into my archives and remembering the moments in which I was getting to know each of the artists, projects and producers and how these relate to my life at that time and in the present. I hope you can listen to it, complete or in fragments, but above all, enjoy it as much as I do and let yourself go, even for a moment. And happy Drone Day 2023. Praised be the Drone God. ///ESP Hoy es Día del Drone y para celebrarlo m...
