Today\u2019s guest deejay is Steve Swartz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I met Steve through Jason Engling<\/a>, who guest deejayed<\/a> on Soundwave a couple of years ago. Steve shared a magical mix<\/a> that I have listened to many times. Today\u2019s show is no less resplendent in its emotions and sounds. It\u2019s a journey.<\/p>\n\n

Earlier this week, I was telling a friend about Soundwave and Steve\u2019s mix. I explained that because Soundwave was created to help me cope with stress and isolation during the first few months of the pandemic, it is a touchstone to those fearful and uncertain times. For me, Soundwave has become a weekly meditative act of reflecting on those early days and the impact of the pandemic on nearly everything in our lives. While I go back to that emotional space weekly, my thoughts and feelings about those times have changed.<\/p>\n\n

As I write this, it is a beautiful day in San Diego, and I can see the ocean from where I sit. I\u2019ve seen this view many times, and while the view is the same, I\u2019m not the person I was at the beginning of this pandemic. I\u2019ve changed. We\u2019ve all changed. I find myself asking who this person is I\u2019ve become and what will I do? Where do I go from here? Steve\u2019s mix provides the soundtrack for the journey.<\/p>\n\n

Steve has some words about his mix below.<\/p>\n\n

Join us again next week when our guest deejay will be Robert Farrugia<\/a>, co-founder of Complex Holiday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then.<\/p>\n\n

I often feel misplaced. Out of tune with much of the goings on of the world around me. As a result, sound and nature have always been a source of refuge. As a child raised around fields and Great Lakes, I\u2019m always drawn to music and sound that drifts, billows or breathes. And so it is with this mix of music. It\u2019s intended as a reflection of my lack of place but also my sense of solitude, refuge and wonder. For me, these are the underscores of moments of abandon out on the road or a morning walk in my neighborhood. Moments of solitude where my mind surveys the landscape of hardships and joys. Spaces where my thoughts drift to someone I deeply miss. Or during the exhale at the end of a long day. To me, these pieces of music are boundless and internal. Drifting like a breeze or a trace of a memory. Something otherworldly but familiar. Nostalgic and grateful. The spirit of a land but not a place.<\/p>\n\n
