Dne - The Monday Is OK Mix
b'Prague based ambient-electronic artist dn\\xe9 recently released his second album, Basic Living, via Platoon. The album delved into what is the essence of embracing the simplicity of life, exploring the ups and downs of dating, the experience of living with chronic health conditions, and the peculiar world of capturing caf\\xe9 plants for social media.\\n\\nBasic Living stood in stark contrast to art centred around the world\\u2019s end, climate anxiety or political discourse, opting instead to depict the often overlooked aspects of our everyday existence.\\n\\nHol\\xfd, the creative force behind dn\\xe9, talks of his desire for disabled individuals to be portrayed as complex individuals with rich emotions, rather than solely focusing on their ability to overcome obstacles. Sonically, Basic Living exhibits a more vibrant and diverse palette compared to dn\\xe9\\u2019s debut album, blending field recordings, lo-fi aesthetics, ethereal synth pads, classical instruments, and traces of Midwest emo-inspired guitars. An experimental playground for dn\\xe9 of sample manipulation, arpeggiated melodies, pop vocals and pure guitar tracks, Basic Living arrived seven years after his award-winning debut album, solidifying Hol\\xfd\\u2019s growth as a composer for film and TV series.\\n\\nWe asked Holy to set our Monday straight\\u2026 \\n\\nINTERVIEW HERE: https://www.theransomnote.com/music/mixes/dne-the-monday-is-ok-mix/\\n\\nTRACKLIST HERE: \\n tracklist\\nRichard Strauss \\u2013 Zwei Ges\\xe4nge, Op. 34, 1\\nOliver Coates \\u2013 Caregiver Pt. 4 (Spirit)\\nRichard Wagner \\u2013 Tristan und Isolde (Prelude to Act III)\\nPaul Desmond \\u2013 Soon\\nMaurice Ravel \\u2013 Rhapsodie Espagnole (Prelude a la Nuit)\\nGustaf Ljunngren & Sk\\xfali Sverisson \\u2013 Vi Overlever\\nMaria w Horn \\u2013 Fall of O\\u2019Dea\\nMiles Davis Quintet \\u2013 It Never Entered My Mind\\nAlva Noto \\u2013 Xerrox Kirlian\\nModest Mussorgsky \\u2013 Il Vecchio Castello\\nBranko Mataja \\u2013 Sreo Sam Te\\nArvo P\\xe4rt \\u2013 Summa\\nJohn Coltrane & Johnny Hartman \\u2013 Lush Life\\nTidiane Thiam \\u2013 Minuit\\nDaniel Lanois \\u2013 My First Love\\nBoxhead Ensemble \\u2013 Homage To The Tren Brothers\\nColin Vallon \\u2013 Sisyphe'
