Marcomé’s Ambient and Dance Music iMix

I feel alive when I dance!  What better way to get your body moving than to put on some exciting, upbeat music?  When its time to clean house or get outside for some exercise, I love listening to the selections on my ambient and dance music iMix.

Its easy to be your own record producer at iTunes!  Simply select your favorite artists or the songs you love to hear time and again, then pull them together for your personal iMix.  I’ve created seven iMixes – so far – that range from new age music to ambient, chill and dance tunes.

In this Ambient and Dance Music iMix, you’ll find 23 songs from Madonna to Fat Boy Slim!  If you’ve ever wondered what’s playing in a singer songwriter’s iPod… take a peek here.  If you love it, you can download a copy for yourself!

Its my favorite selection of electronic, dance and ambient musics.

Go move! Marcomé ♥

New Age Music Classics: iMix 2

Find some musical inspiration in Marcomé’s New Age Music iMixes.

Music is meant to uplift and to accompany us! I love this feature on iTunes that allows you to create a mix of your favorite songs from artists of your choice.  In my New Age Music Classics: iMix 2, I selected 15 tracks, including songs by Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Brian Eno, all of whom influenced me as an artist.

Listen to “Echoes” by Vangelis, “Deep Blue Day,” by Brian Eno, and Jean Michel Jarre’s “Oxygene: Pt.4″  There are treasures from other artists, as well.  Check them out!

These singer songwriters inspired me to pursue and explore the keyboard’s virtual environment.  I would even say that they triggered my desire to do music!  Hope you’ll rediscover something in there.

Did you know you are free to purchase any of the selected songs, or buy the entire iTunes mix?  Also, don’t forget to make your vote count!  Rate my selections, and check out the rest of my iMixes.

Musically yours, Marcomé ♥

The Sound of Silence

Does silence have a sound?  Do we ever stop just to be still and listen?

Mother Nature has a lovely voice.  She whispers during early dawning hours.  Softly sings through forest breezes.  She warbles over river rocks.  You can practically hear her songs through these nature photographs….

Make Room for Space Music

You’ve probably heard of chill music, ambient music, and world music.  But what about space music?  The term isn’t as “out there,” as you might believe!  In fact, it is quickly becoming recognized as a sub-genre of new age music.

Even though space music is more often described as a feeling, or a mood evoked from listening, perhaps its not surprising to hear that its often played at planetariums and in film soundtracks.

As described on Wikipedia:

“Space music ranges from simple to complex sonic textures, often (though not exclusively) lacking conventional melodic, rhythmic, or vocal components, typically evoking a “continuum of spatial imagery and emotion”, beneficial introspection, attentiveness for deep listening, subtle trance effects called “spacey”, (defined by the Compact Oxford Dictionary as “drifting and ethereal”) and psychoacoustic spatial perceptions, particularly, sensations of flying, floating, cruising, gliding, or hovering.”

Follow Your Favorite Musicians on Twitter

I absolutely love the social networking service Twitter.  Not only can I connect with my fans and friends instantly, but its a great way to see what people are doing.  As a singer songwriter, I am especially interested in what other people in the industry are up to.

With more than 5 million Twitter users around the world, the community is the equivalent of a medium-sized North American city!  Fortunately, there are tools that can help you follow your favorite musicians on Twitter.  You might even discover new artists in the process.
