Mood music for movie viewing, from Cinespia's cemetery film viewings

November 26, 2014 9:56 AM

If you're looking for a little mood music before and/or after watching a movie, you might enjoy the Cinespia experience at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (Wikipedia). But if you're not likely to join the crowd in Los Angeles, you can recreate a part of that movie warm-up/cool-down experience with Cinespia's archive of mixes from various notable musicians. Their site currently lists 11 mixes from the likes of Cut Chemist, The Gaslamp Killer (previously), David Holmes and Carlos Niño, but if you dig into the Internet Archive, you can find 38 more mixes (including a good number of paired before-and-after mixes) from even more artists, set to a range of movies, classics both older (North by Northwest, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and newer (Bladerunner, The Big Lebowski).

If you find yourself digging through the various links, you might notice "Murmurs of Earth" listed under DJ Turquoise Wisdom's list of mixes. The link from the archived page is dead, but you can find the mix and tracklist here on Dublab.

It looks like the link was intended as an example of more music by the artist, inspired by music on Voyager's Golden Record (mixtape of the gods, previously). But if you follow this link, you'll find that Dublab is its own magnificent rabbit hole of music from artists in and around Los Angeles.
