2019 Aug Back in the Building (through the Deep Door)
Deep House, suitable for loungin’, eating, reading. I have been told “Deep House” is boring, my answer is right here, just give the music time to get to you. Do not force it.
I recently was eating in an upmarket restaurant in Rome. Setting was uber-cool as expected, food amazing but the soundscape was just passable. As it is the sort of brand of eateries found in most of the cool cities of the world, they can (should) command the perfect soundscape for dining.
The requirements are a great sound system able to project pure sound at a low volume and a crafter who understands that the sound has to adapt to the crowd volume. Late PM, early evening, we want to hear the sound, during full service, we do not, late service we do but at a low yet discernible volume. Finally, whoever puts it together needs to have a script, an intention and obey one simple rule: low, up, peak, low.
Nothing more irritating than background music that is either overpowering out conversations or just as bad, music that we cannot hear due to the background noise and that we would prefer off as it serve no purpose.
Well, here is my take. Use it for whatever purpose you want, this is accompanying music, you can zone out to it but it should/will bring you back in at times and that is the beauty of a soundscape. It is around you not “on” you.

Highlights:
“Inspired” by Deep Grounder because it is a deep house classic and magnificently produced.
“The Message” for it is says about House and because Yves Muscara is one of the most consummate producer of House music.
This set ought to be taken as a whole, each tune brings something to the party. Give it a go!
