Daily Mix - 2022-11-08

In addition to actual mix tapes, I like to set a minidisc to record and start a Roon Radio automated mix from a key track. I record over optical while working or doing something else. Sometimes they aren’t very interesting, but sometimes they go in unexpected directions. For more, see my list of all daily mix playlists.

Key Track: Darren Korb - Out of Tartarus

Blue Maxell 80 with textured stripe pattern and translucent back and label "Happy Music Happy MD Life"

I chose a track from the Hades soundtrack to base this off of, and unsurprisingly the resulting mix was mostly video game soundtracks and remixes. There are also a couple tracks from TV shows and movies and one real surprise: a very old recording with Gustav Holst, who died in 1934, conducting.

I half hoped the computer would expand more on the broader picture of the Hades soundtrack, taking its mix of acoustic instruments and heavy guitars and finding more along those lines, but it kept pretty close to the superficial level of the brief instead. Oddly, Qobuz doesn’t even have the Hades soundtrack.
