That sounds about right.<\/p>\n\n<p>Garek\u2019s got quite the mix for us. I\u2019ll admit, I\u2019m unfamiliar with most of the artists he featured, which is one of the delights of hosting Soundwave. He took me on a journey of lulling sounds, gentle crackles and hisses, and quiet chords. When his mix was over, it felt like I had woken from a half-remembered dream.<\/p>\n\n<p>Garek has some beautiful prints you can adorn your space with.
