Dear Nabil,
The time soon comes for parting,
And our time is at an end,
The rest of your life is starting,
And we have no time at all to spend.
You knew one day you’d have to go,
But thought you’d have more time.
We can’t reverse time’s one-way flow,
But at least you’ll have this rhyme.
You had your shining moments,
Upon this life’s darkened stage,
And in my book of wonderments,
You’ll never be just another page.
Like the exploding of a star,
You’ve changed me in and out,
Your light will travel with me far,
Past when all other lights go out.*
Rest in my peace my friend. I hope you’re happy where you are.
This is to your memory.
--------
* “Drifter’s Melody” by Megan R. Bokowski

Beautiful soundtracks of memorable films have always been an inspiration to my Unwind mixes. This mix features quite a few, including a recent one that inspired this mix which is “Going to the Country” by Dhani Harrison & Paul Hicks, taken from a great film called “Learning to Drive“.
I’ve also created a brand new mashup of a song called “Sea Fog” from one of my favorite British bands, Keane, and another from the legendary Rock musician Mike Oldfield called “I Give Myself Away”. The two songs were a match made in heaven and I couldn’t help it. It took about 5 hours but definitely worth it.
This mix is dedicated to the wonderful people behind Ambient-Nights.org, who I have the pleasure of recently joining as part of the Ambient-Nights Mixer Family (ANMF).
Ambient-Nights was the site that got me hooked on Ambient music since I discovered it in 2007. The quality of their mixes is really extraordinary, and they have a body of work that will sure take some time to go through, but the experience will be just as rewarding.
I also want to highlight the work of the other current member of ANMF, Northenstar. His two mix series, Stella Septentrionalis and Amoris et Lucis, include some of the finest Ambient mixing I have ever heard (Amoris et Lucis 1 is my current favorite). Truly inspirational work.

“The only journey is the journey within.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
I recently stumbled upon a website called 16personalities. It lets you take a personality test to get a description of who you are and why you do things the way you do. I’m usually wary of such sites that claim to do so, especially if they’re not scientifically grounded. Not this one though. Hesitant, I went ahead and took the 10-minutes test. The result was a complete profile of my personality, tendencies and motivations. To say that what I read was “freakishly accurate” is an understatement. And it’s not the kind of generic stuff that can work for everybody; it’s as if someone had been accurately observing my thoughts, feelings, and actions all my life and had a better talent of putting all that into words.
The reason I mention this is that reading into my profile (which by the way is the INFJ Personality, commonly called “The Advocate”, I now completely understand my motivations for making these mixes for you guys. I used to explain the reason I spend all these hours is because I enjoy the creative process of a hobby that fills my time, but it turns out it goes deeper than that.
In fact, my personality is the kind of one that has inborn sense of idealism and morality. We are dreamers who are still capable of taking concrete steps to realize our goals and make a lasting positive impact. This has been the underlying thread that made me start this project in the first place. My intention has always been to harness the power of music into mixes that somehow makes you feel better and let’s you have a more positive outlook in life.
This mix is all about that.
