Thomas of mystified has been less involved with new releases at the Archive in 2007. That is because he has been busy writing music primarily for small DIY labels, to be released in cdr or cassette format. Because there are so many of these releases, and it would be difficult to collect them all, Thomas became interested in sharing some of this released work with the internet community. The "mystified Oddities Mix" is a collection of 14 pieces from cdrs and cassettes released predominantly in 2007. This gives listeners a chance to hear the kinds of music Thomas has been creating. . . a chance to catch up with things. Note that these 14 pieces have been specially mixed into continuous play, for smooth listening. Bored listeners are welcome to "scroll ahead" on their players if they want to. As far as being relevent to Treetrunk, these pieces each contain homemade phonographic elements such as collected environmental drones and shortwave sounds.
Special thanks to Sandy Spreitz ( www.sandystudio.com ) for the artwork.
