Random moment is our playlist series which was started during the 2020 pandemic. We cannot travel and postings on our trips here have slowed to a crawl. So we thought sharing music is another way to communicate with friends and fans.
Nowadays, sharing a playlist with the world is effortless and generating a playlist can even be automated by Spotify’s algorithm. I (Chris) is old enough to have made and shared mixed cassette tapes and remember the sweet labor in selecting and sequencing analog music. Why do it now ? Part of the fun is to re-listen to your favorites and savor that melody, beat or performance – the magic that entertained or entranced you. As music is likely associated with a period, a place or certain events and people in one’s life, it is also a trip down memory lane for many people.
With a music streaming service, almost the entire universe of popular and classical music is available. It allows the boundless discovery of new groups, new music created by people you like, covers for an old song, or even old music you did not like before but like now. I(Chris) is particularly interested in discovering new or faint musical mood connections between the music, old and new. Playlists are the products of us amusing ourselves in this musical sandbox.
Depending on the music, the number of songs in a playlist is limited to about four on average, totaling around 10-20 minutes. In our listening experiences, there is enough time for the listener to form an impression of the overall musical mood. And the bite-size playtime is about right for a short break from chores/work.
This is the 12th playlist. The earlier playlists can be found by searching for the tag “music” on this site.
