Dead Melodies

<p>Today’s guest deejay is Tom Moore, AKA <a href="https://www.cryochamberlabel.com/artist/dead-melodies/" title="Dead Melodies">Dead Melodies</a>.</p> <p>After listening to his latest album, <em><a href="https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/fabled-machines-of-old" title="Fabled Machines of Old">Fabled Machines of Old</a></em>, I invited Tom to guest deejay on Soundwave back in June. The album was released on <a href="https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com" title="Cryo Chamber">Cryo Chamber</a>, and it’s what I’ve come to expect from every release from the label: exquisitely crafted dark ambient music that takes you on an emotional journey. Sometimes harrowing, but always rewarding.</p> <p>Today’s show has been a different experience for me than what I’ve become accustomed to. Usually, I receive mixes for Soundwave six months before I share them with you. I do this for practical reasons. I like to have the mixes well before the release date, so I don’t have to scramble to get shows out weekly. I listened to the mixes you repeatedly hear for months, a byproduct of this arrangement. I become intimately acquainted with the music. They become the soundtrack for my life.</p> <p>Tom’s schedule did not permit him to send me his mix in advance. I only just got his mix for Soundwave two weeks ago. I didn’t think that would be time enough to allow Tom’s mix to “breather,” but fortunately, I was able to lose myself in the music, and Tom’s mix quickly became an old friend.</p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejay will be <a href="https://danielfuzztone.bandcamp.com" title="danielfuzztone">danielfuzztone</a>.</p> <p>See you then!</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://petroglyphmusic.bandcamp.com/album/585-the-x-mas-compilation-2017" title="Dead Melodies">Dead Melodies</a> “Winter’s Bite”</li> <li><a href="https://everydaydust.bandcamp.com/album/further-studies-beyond-decay" title="Everyday Dust">Everyday Dust</a> “Where Light Fails (Dead Melodies Solar Frenzy Mix)&quot;</li> <li><a href="https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/al
