It’s been 10 days since we lost Jack Rose, and we’ve spent a good deal of that time listening to his music and his inspirations. First I was going to share a few songs but then the list grew and I knew I had to try to make a mix. I don’t know if I succeeded in making something coherent but I’m confident the music reflects at least a part of his passion.

One of the meatiest twitter streams I follow is that of digital composer Stephan Mathieu. His feed is always chock full of quality be it from him or otherwise. Video excerpt of his Virginals set at Steirischer Herbst is stunning, and so is his earlier Crónica selection “On the Concept of History“.
