Ah, let's just quote them:
Poland based sound artist Dawid Szczesny creates beautifully fragmented music that ebbs and flows in surrealistic swirls of sampled percussion and stringed instruments. While experimental in nature, subtle rhythms and soundtrack sensibilities will appeal to a wide range of music listeners. Truly innovative and fresh music from a musician with a unique ear for music composition. Dawid Szczesny’s music will interest listeners of Tim Hecker, Philip Jeck and Part Timer. - Porter Records

This time we're presenting a drone mix made by a friend, Chris Dooks, he runs The Bovine Life Support System. It's very good, highly recommended. Better check it ASAP [and his other mixes as well]!

The International Day of Drones was an eight hour musical live mix of drone-based music in all it's forms - from all over the world, mixed with an environmental soundscape from www.dooks.org (Chris Dooks who has graced BBC Radio3, The South Bank Show, Benbecula records and bip-hop.com).

It took place at Glasgow University's Chapel, for 8 hours and the audience dipped in and out of the ambient music festival which was also streamed live where, if you click on this link you can also enjoy the live stream of whatever is going on in there now! - http://mcu.gla.ac.uk/chapel-live.html (mac users email me if you have trouble).

This show sees me not say much so you can enjoy a wonderfully long mix - 76 minutes culled from 8 hours!!!

Tracklisting:
Amreik - Eluvium
Mute Swan - Tape And Minamo
Jag Haver - Ingen Karare
Cellar Door - Michael Andrews
Himininn Er A Hrynja, En Stjornurnar Fara Per Vel - Olafur Arnalds

I'm presenting a track that's totally got me by heart, it's beautiful, fabulous, dreamy... Reminds me a little of Jacaszek and Lady Aarp [yeah, celtic harps or zithers again].
The rest of the EP contains more of the classic IDM stuff, but I thought this one's worth picking out.
