I’m late to the party, and this took longer than expected to compile and mix, but this is my contribution to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Watching the moon landing, wrapped in a blanket, sitting on my grandfather’s linoleum floor, on his brand new color TV is among my earliest memories. Peppered throughout this mix are snippets of official NASA audio, from launch to landing to splashdown. It features music from Todd Douglas Miller’s remarkable documentary, Apollo 11, by Matt Morton, and Brian Eno’s classic ambient album Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks.
