my mix tape or cd was constructed with my friend Jack in mind, but it can directed towards many people. he does seem to appreciate music, but has never been to a concert or played any instruments of his own. this cd's purpose was to not only introduce new music to Jack, but somewhat fill in on his lacking of concert experience as well as instrument knowledge.
i intended to introduce to him acoustic music, which i indicated on the cd as music at its "rawest and purest form". with acoustic music, he could somewhat listen to what could be a concert or the basis of a concert; music that you hear outside of the radio, tv, or cd player. in other words, music that is not generally the reproduction from a studio; the final pieces you usually hear. also, with acoustic music, he could again somewhat get a feel for what playing an instrument is like. in this case, he would hear just the purity of a single guitar, so that he would know what it sounds like without all the editing, the electronics.

I like that idea a lot. Of course that's probably because I like acoustic music and support spreading it to those unfortunate souls living in the dark. What songs did you use? Did you actually go to the lengths of acquiring live recordings of the acoustic tracks? As I remember you saying during the workshop you were planning on putting two versions of each song on the tape. Did you try playing around with Audacity or anything and splicing them back and forth? Hopefully Jack will get into it.
That's a really good idea for a mix cd. I also enjoy acoustic music...it's much more raw, you can hear the imperfections that occur and it almost feels like you are at the concert.
