Today we have a guest mix from FogChaser, who writes and produces a new instrumental song every month, shared exclusively through his newsletter. It’s another free multi-hour mix to take your mind off other things…

The first twelve tracks of today’s mix are from my most recent collection, Explorations, songs written with a mix of orchestral, acoustic, and electronic instruments along with field recordings from my home in the Pacific Northwest, USA. The next twenty-four tracks of the mix make up Volumes I and II of my newsletter, a collection of pieces in all twenty-four musical keys. There are a couple of lo-fi collabs near the end, and the mix finishes with a short score I wrote for a new book called Chasing Fog by Laura Pashby.

Each of the songs in today’s mix were first shared through my newsletter, and only some of these songs have been released on streaming platforms — this is the first time they have ever appeared together in one place, exclusively for Flow State, one of my favorite places on the internet. It’s an honor to be here again.

Thank you for listening,
