All The Happy Accidents - September 2010 BRR Mixtape Brigade

One of the more entertaining aspects of Mixtape creation is to witness how the sequence evolves and ends up in its final state. Normally, I have the authority and power to regulate this evolution and ultimately decide what makes the cut and what doesn't. But, not this month - this one got away from me. This one assembled itself on its own. I fought it at first, trying desperately to cling to the original sonic intent. And again and again, the music continued to take command. What you hear here sounds nothing like what I had set out to create, and, I suppose, everything is all the better for it. I was put in my place. Who would have thought creating a Mixtape could be a humbling experience.
