The title of my end of the year mix of tracks from releases I purchased on Bandcamp in 2020 and one track off of one of my own releases is borrowed from one of the most beautiful releases on Longform Editions in this year, Carmen Villain’s otherworldly Affection in a Time of Crisis. Although all the tracks I used are exceptional in their way, my primary intention was not to create a best of mix, but rather to use the genre of the mix tape as a composer, that is to compose a piece of music by mixing together tracks by other composers. The whole is more than its parts.

Please, consider to support the artists appearing in this mix by purchasing their music, if you can. The names and titles in the track list below are clickable Bandcamp links.
