CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND

You may already be starting to notice a thread emerging here, and the linchpin is the concept of “leisure”. Wanting to expand my scope in more ways than one, I embarked on yet another chapter of my mix-mastering journey with Vahé:LeisureCAST that ran from 2008 until 2015. These mixes were driven by specific concepts, locations, emotions and the elements, which then informs what kind of tone the mix itself should take. Once again, each mix exists to build on the one that came before, either maintaining the same vibes or taking conscious deviations into adjacent musical territory.
