Mixtaping by Strangs – Vol 1 – sir Was
Have you ever done a mixtape before? If yes – when was the first time and for which person? If not – why not and for which person would you do one?
No, I have never done that. No one asked me. I guess I would do one for D`Angelo but he would never ask me. I think it would be more about making coffe and cleaning the studio, which I would gladly do because he is greater than great!
Which format would you prefer for your mixtape: Cassette, CD, digital playlist?
I would prefer it on a cassette because it sounds good but I would probably do it on a CD because its easier at least before they changed F-G Itunes a couple of years ago so now I can’t use that either so my answer is: If I would do it I would ask my friend Damien to help me do it digitally.
Insider tips that the listener won’t know or mainstream hits?
Insider tips? Not sure what you’re after. I like many mainstream hits of course. How could I not?
Sad/emotional or dance/party songs?
Sad and emotinal dance songs.
Listing songs one after the other or planning a tonal climax?
Is there a difference I guess I would kist them one after another to reach a tonal , mental and physical climax.
About the cover: self painted, a picture stolen from the internet or a simple set-list?
Probably just a list with the songs.
If you could choose an artist/band, who should do a mixtape for you – which one would it be and why?
I wonder what MR Aphex Twin would put together.
