Hello, friend.

Sharing something a little different for July’s Melted Mix—a mashup!

While I haven’t gotten around to putting together another longform mix of tracks, I was playing around with mashing up 2 songs that I absolutely love. It was a fun project that was an offshoot of some of the track mixing I do for the longer mixes but with a much more focu…

Hello, friend.

This month’s Melted Mix is a very special one. Last weekend, I attended a regional burn called Summerisle (a gathering inspired by and adhering to the principles of Burning Man). While there, I played this 2-hour ambient mix for visitors to my camp between the hours of 1-3 AM.

Throughout it’s runtime, I used a whiteboard to write the names of the track(s) and artists that listeners were hearing. It became quite a meditative practice, standing at the board, writing, sitting, listening deeply, standing, erasing, replacing.

I really enjoyed this experience and I hope the mix resonates with you. While many tracks stand alone on this mix, there are also many that I took time to layer together, and I found myself in awe of how well some tracks meshed together with quite minimal mixing from my hand.

The full timestamped tracklist is below so you can pick out what you’re hearing. This mix is the culmination of much of my ambient listening over the last couple of years, featuring some of my favorite artists and songs. There are also many artists featured who are friends of the Hum, Buzz, & Hiss community (thank you, friends).

Happy listening.

FYI: While this specific mix is free for all subscribers from its initial release, other mixes in this series are available weeks early for paid subscribers. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber to support my work and get early access to these monthly mixes. Thank you!

Hello, friend.

This month’s Melted Mix is for the in-betweeners and the in-between times. The moments when the rain is falling but the sun is out. When feelings conflict, and the world feels a little off-balance. If you aren’t feeling fully here, there, or anywhere, give this mix a try.

Happy listening.

Hello, friend.

March has absolutely flown past me. Can you believe the speed of time?

I often find ambient music helps slow things down just a little bit. So, this month’s Melted Mix is all ambient. It’s also a special mix because every track was made by friends of the Hum, Buzz, & Hiss community!

To ensure more people can hear these awesome ambient works by these independent artists, this month’s Melted Mix is free and available to everyone. Typically, these mixes are exclusive benefits for paying subscribers, so if you want to hear more mixes like this, consider upgrading to paid.

Hello, friend.

I hope you had a pleasant Valentine’s Day weekend full of love—whether that love was shared with a partner, some friends, your family, or just yourself. Love is all.

Sometimes, love hasn’t found us yet. Or it hasn’t been reciprocated. Or it’s been lost to time and memory.

This month’s mix is a testament to not just the love we have felt, st…

I’m excited to share my first mix of 2026 with you!

I had been wanting to try my hand at making mixes for a while. Then, when I was gearing up for the new year, I was also weighing my options for how to offer more perks for readers/listeners who support Hum, Buzz, & Hiss with paid subscriptions. It became the perfect motivation to try it ou…
