Inspiration is everywhere

Inspiration cannot be faked

It is in books, arts, films, nature, people, music, and in all the things in between that we can’t even see or hear. To me, music has been my magical life companion and my main source of inspiration. But there are so many different styles and genres, much of it one can’t even define! Our planet is wrapped in music and is the gravitational force to so many people. That is why it is, to me, an almost impossible task to talk about it or to select music for a mixtape about inspiration. I realized that if I had to choose out of all there is that inspired me, there will always be something missing along the way, so instead, I have decided to create a mixtape that features a representative collection of songs and tracks that influenced my own sound.

This is not a mix of all time favorites and you’ll see there are some important musical genres missing, such as folk, hip-hop, minimal music, soul, etc. (that also inspires me, but I had to draw the line somewhere!) These are simply some of my favorite songs and people at work…” —Superpitcher
