Matt Emery is a London based composer, a talented pianist, and now a friend, whom I am honored to host today on this Headphone Commute episode, with his exclusively curated mix, titled Eternal Bliss. With his selections, Matt traverses a landscape of modern classical and ambient compositions, many of which are already dear to my heart, like a piece by Hildur Guðnadóttir from her 2009 Without Sinking album, and a few beautiful discoveries along the way, like the Julien Marchal remix of a piece by Robot Koch & Savannah Jo Lack, and of course, Emery’s own tracks, which I’ve requested for him to include. It’s a flawless journey into the world of music perfect for your headphone commute, one with which we’re happy to close this year with (before our annual Best of Vinyl mix), while the world is drowning in their year-end lists.
As a special compliment to this mix, I’m also happy to include a video of Emery’s live performance at St Pancras Old Church, which I have attended in person!
