Music To Drink Tea To - 013 - Saleh
The thirteenth episode of our Music To Drink Tea To mix series comes from Saleh.
Sit back and steep in 2.5 hours of drip-fed ambience, an ideal soundtrack for your slow motion picture dreams. Fans of vaporwave will enjoy this one, with classic tracks from 2814, HKE, and other giants from vapor fugue.
About the mix from Saleh:
"Over the past year, my life has been a whirlwind of constant movement — relocating to a new city for an intense engineering internship, making weekly 1.5-hour ferry trips to visit my brother, and starting my days as early as 3am for prayer. Despite the demands of work, training martial arts, lifting, and a hectic schedule, moments of silence and stillness kept me sane and somewhat rested.
For me, tea, music, art, and fashion became the moments of silence. It wasn’t until very recently I tried to experiment with creating an ambience of well paired audio, visual, scents and something to drink/eat, it stemmed from when I decided to kinda “lock in”, I wanted a space where I could reflect without any filters (being brutally honest with yourself about everything is harder than you might think), somewhere that I could put my phone away, shut down my brain and just exist, somewhere outside of all that is happening.
This mix is meant to convey a similar journey (hopefully), to let you escape from everything even just for a small moment. Made from my favourite Dreampunk and dream-heavy ambient music. The songs I chose hold very intimate and personal meanings to me. I hope this mix can take you on a journey of stillness, silence and dreams as well." — Saleh
