Dream Weapons present: PÉROLAS BARROCAS C90



or


And now for something completely different, its: The Best Baroque Mixtape In The World...Ever!*

Pérola Barrocas means irregular pearls – which is the original meaning behind the term Baroque. I skipped the obvious genius of the era Bach (+ Handel...and Purcell), focusing rather heavily on the «early music» sounds of the harpsichord, harp, strings, gloomy organ and quite a lot of viola da gamba-drones. Some songs and dances, a few furiously dynamic orchestral assaults but the allegros are largely outnumbered by the adagios.

    1. I'll see what I can do Liquid Store. I have a playlist/sketch lying about, but finalizing a bunch of tunes into a mix takes time (this one in particular took ages) and I'm usually five or six mixtapes ahead of the latest one posted here. So I'm afraid I can't help you with your urgent ancient gloomy music-needs. But maybe in a couple of months:)
