Deep and Crisp and Even mix

At the turn of the millennium, I played a very chilled, quite choral-based midwinter DJ set at north London's Union Chapel (where we founded The Big Chill) supporting Tom Middleton's Amba. 

The gig turned out to be monumental for Tom in so many ways, but I have always retained a deep fondness for the soundtrack I prepared to set the stage for him. The audio for what I named 'Deep and Crisp and Even' has had many thousand downloads over the years from various sites and I have always harboured a desire to create an audio-visual version of the mix. 

Winter lockdown conditions in Paros around Covid conspired to create the perfect opportunity to get that together and be creative with slides and videos.
