Radical Candor

The mix title, Radical Candor, comes from the (management) philosophy that argues that feedback (on behaviour) is most effective if it is 'challenging' but at the same time shows that you 'care'. I felt there was a resemblance: the mix is 'caring' at times but can also be quite 'challenging' to the listener. At least, that was my intention. Now you decide. -- originally published on Ambientblog --
A word of warning first. This is not an ambient mix intended to relax or create a calm atmosphere. Also, it is not a showcase with full album tracks. It is a 'create-your-own-movie' soundtrack with some rather intense climaxes. And 42 track fragments in less than one hour - almost none of those in full length: all tracks are cut-up, fragmented, edited, layered and re-assembled (but never altered sonically) - like creating a collage from torn pictures. This also means that none of the parts represents the artists' original intention (I hope they still can appreciate what I do here). For further exploration, the release details of the fragments are provided so you can check out the original full versions and support the artist wherever possible.
