#compiles

The car didn’t have bluetooth nor any USB slot back then, so they would take the form of 5 CDs of ~80 minutes, packed in Orange / Green / Blue / Violet and Pink plastic boxes, for a total of ~6 hours of music. Each was meant to be read from top to bottom, usually telling a story.

Today, even if I’m not following them during their summer hols and their car cannot read CDs anymore, the tradition remained. Every year, the day they travel is my deadline to create those 5 compilations, loaded on an USB drive.

They’re no longer travelling playlists to me now but rather serve as a musical summary, reminding me people I met, things I worked on, gigs I went to, places I visited this year… and I really hope I’ll be able to keep doing this for the rest of my life.

As a common Spotify User, I’ve compiled (lol) all of them as playlists. It was about time I made covers and shared those somewhere. You can find them all here.
