GridWave VaporWare (vol 1) is a flowing cinematic arrangement of TRON- vibed songs, accumulated over the past year. I still have many more tracks, probably for another two volumes. This is the most complete segment so far.

"GridWave" is the idea of music that sounds reminiscent of TRON. This compilation is like a puree of all styles of TRON, from '82, to Legacy, to Ares. "VaporWare" is name of the album, or series of albums to come.

This playlist serves as a hypothetical "TRON⁴” score, using otherwise disparate tracks from various artists, to string together a flowing, fresh cinematic experience. This includes known material from Daft Punk & NIN, but mixed in new & fun ways.

As such, there are several segments where portions of multiple tracks come together to act as one overarching soundscape scene.

I would recommend listening blind, without looking at the track listing! Just trust the flow, and try to vibe with it and see where it goes.

This started as trying to put together the Tron Ares movie score in movie sequence order, and filling in unlisted tracks from the movie with other Tron sounding stuff. That eventually turned into my other playlist TRON: Ares ÷ Legacy • User Input Override which uses only mainline Tron score tracks, with a few exceptions.

This current playlist took a back seat during that time, but I kept accumulating Tron sounding stuff, and arranging things into a flow. I just recently shifted focus back to this, and mixing the transitions. It's pretty solid right now, but maybe not perfect. Ongoing small tweaks, perhaps.

Happy TRON -iversary! Hope at least some enjoy this as much as I enjoy putting it together, and vibing to it. Volume 2 coming soon.

Sunday afternoon circa 5pm give or take a bit... On a whim I popped into the local Home Goods to.glance at small area rugs...

And immediately somehow saw you at the register, about to leave, eyes just magically drawn to you. Thought you were an actress!

I was shocked by how gorgeous you were, but did not want to creep, so I went on my way. Quick glance at the rugs, nope they suck, couldn't have been more than a minute or two, and I head back up front. Only the cross halves and gazes with you again, cuz you were meandering around the front of the store...

You were meandering around front inside the store, as if just looking for someone... Or were we both just trying to secretly steal glances? But, you did follow me out feet behind, as I left the store..!?

I cannot believe I didn't say something. Especially after you gave a signal I should have shook me into action, even if it was only a 1% chance I was actually seeing a signal directed at me.

If you are seeing this message:

To confirm it's you... tell me what happened as we exited. Tell me what color hair you have and how you were wearing it. Which store location were we at? What store was I walking to after Home Goods?

Uggghhh. I should have said "hi! Wait a second..!"

TL:DR: Saw the most gorgeous girl of my life in public in a store, gave me a clear signal to at least TRY to communicate and confirm if it was actually a signal for me. Locked eyes at least once yes I blew it and just walked away thinking "nope couldn't possibly have been signed for me from someone so gorgeous!". Soulmate gone, because I'm an oblivious sloth.

Started as a next trip-hop + "chill" arrangement & mix attempt, after my first way more trip-hop focused "Downtempo Daydream [Demure]". Quickly morphed more into modern- funk/grooves & bass -driven mellow flow, with warm Summer vibes (to my ear).

This is a warm, mellow ride through a sunny lazy Summer day, night, week type vibes, with a dash of forlorn passion, wispy romance, etc.

The "Summer vibes" is mainly Khruangbin and All India radio -- but includes more off-the-wall choices like "Evidence" by Faith No More, "Twisted Tales" by Jane's Addiction, and "Another Space Song" by Failure -- Which all to me are VERY "Summer vibes" due to how/when I discovered them.

I TRIED to make them fit in a flow & manner that hopefully expresses that in context with the overall flow. I think it works?

Plus... Twisted Tales and Evidence are some of the absolute top unexpected bangers of my life. Re-introduced me to Jane's Addiction with fresh perspective, that whole album is amazing.

Ending with Planet Caravan, one of Black Sabbath's masterstroke creations, and for this arrangement, is like a quiet beach night closing out one of many days on a week long beach trip.

Hope others enjoy! And I always love feedback, or even technical tips. Learning as I go, mixing by ear, and a lot of trial and error.

This is a combination of 2 separate "commonplace" playlists I had been accumulating tracks in, past week or 2. Forgot about one, eventually remembered & realized there was some overlap, so I started building connections as I heard them.

Also finally "getting out" some MASSIVE ear worms from recent years (Holding On by Active Child, for one! Firefly by Alpha being another decades long favorite), and relatively new surprise favorites (ANNE HATHAWAY via "Mother Mary"! and Monsters by All India Radio).

...all mixed in with genre defining staples like Hooverphonic, Portishead, and Massive Attack, and many others. To mention M.A.:

This set also includes a mega-mix mashup of "Angel" (M.A.) and "I Know You Can Feel It" (NIN, Tron Ares score). This is a best-effort amalgamation of them, after hearing how similar they are -- using multiple copies of each song, and trying to find catchy hooks & places to mix them, within the confines of the Spotify mixing limits.

I believe the tracks also preceding and following that mix, are good flows, and this is easily one of my favorite stretches in this mix.

Meticulously tweaked transitions throughout, over 3 or so days, and it's pretty solid right now, for what I was going for... But minor tweaks will surely continue.

Hope someone else enjoys! And as always, I'd love and appreciate feedback and discussion! I've been mega addicted to AutoMix since it became available many months ago.

I Know You Can Feel It (Tron Ares, NIN) × Angel (Massive Attack) ~14 minute mix-mashup▫️They just sounded too similar and awesome to me, to NOT try ℹ️: Also embedded within another of my mixed sets "Trip•Hop Daydreaming"

This arranged mix is a fair dollop of Trip Hop classics, with more experimental happenstance transitions throughout, and trip-hop adjacent (electro pop, gloomy, EDM lite). All in a flow, to my ear -- That I hope other people can dig and enjoy.

Threw together and mixed in 2 days, after having a small accumulation of 2 separate but similar-enough unsorted & unmixed playlists, and hearing unifying threads all throughout.

Of special note: Includes an extended mix-mashup of "I Know You Can Feel It" (NIN) × "Angel" (Massive Attack) of about 14 minutes, using multiples of each track, interwoven. I will also publish a separate playlist of just that mashup.

Hope some of you will enjoy! And as always, would appreciate and enjoy any feedback. The mixing is mostly done, except for possible ongoing minor tweaks.
