Gert says today\u2019s show features a perfect mixture of tracks that have influenced him and tracks that currently influence him. He said they\u2019re all such beautiful tracks, and what\u2019s best, you can find them all on Bandcamp<\/a>, some of them entirely for free.<\/p>\n\n Today\u2019s mix also includes a track form Gert\u2019s project, Distant Fires Burning<\/a>. You\u2019re gong to love today\u2019s mix and you\u2019ll want to hear more music from Gert. Good news! You can find his latest album, Inperspectycon Vol\u200b.\u200b1<\/em>, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n One thing that\u2019s interesting about the 21st century is music is so freely available, and it\u2019s nearly endless. Consequently, I don\u2019t think most music gets the attention due, and I\u2019m not wagging my finger. I\u2019m just as guilty. It\u2019s exceedingly rare that I will listen to a song or an album repeatedly. There\u2019s so much I want to listen to, and I\u2019m often impatient to listen to the next song, even while I\u2019m listening to something that very moment.<\/p>\n\n Take today\u2019s show. It\u2019s spectacular. But you\u2019ll listen to it once. Some of you might even listen to it twice. And then you\u2019re on to the next show. Or the next song. Or the next video.<\/p>\n\n As the producer of Soundwave, however, I have a very different relationship with the music you hear.<\/p>\n\n I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve mentioned this before, but I receive these mixes months before I publish them on Soundwave. I live with these mixes. I marinate in these mixes.<\/p>\n\n I\u2019ve become very familiar with Gert\u2019s mix. It\u2019s a gorgeous experience. But after repeated listening, I\u2019ve come to appreciate just how dense the songs that appear in today\u2019s show are. I\u2019ve become intimately acquainted with every snap, crackle, and pop. I lose myself in the swooshes, the sizzle, and grit.<\/p>\n\n Gert\u2019s mix is made for repeated listening. I encourage you to do so.<\/p>\n\n Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Michael Southard of Triplicate Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n See you then!<\/p>\n\n![\"Gert](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/josephaleo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/C1FCB358-3ADC-4EC3-BDBC-3872875C0BA4.jpeg?w=525\")
