- Author: James A. Reeves

As part of [Mysteries of the Deep’s](https://www.mysteriesofthedeep.net/?ref=jamesreeves.co) weekend broadcast on [9128.live](https://9128.live/?ref=jamesreeves.co), [Stephen Baker](http://stephenbaker.cc/?ref=jamesreeves.co) and I stitched together two hours of brand-new material along with a few ambient classics circa 1994, a touch of Connie Francis, and a recording of New York City’s nightly cheer for the essential workers who are carrying us through this heavy season. 

I’m grateful for the sense of community that Mysteries of the Deep and [A Strangely Isolated Place](https://www.astrangelyisolatedplace.com/?ref=jamesreeves.co) created within a weekend: forty hours of mixtapes, live sets, and album premieres from artists around the world. There was even a disarmingly pleasant chatroom that felt like the halcyon days of the information superhighway. It’s been ages since I’ve joined so many people in listening to the same thing at the same time—and it’s a vital image right now: heads around the world bowed before their personal speakers, hearing the same song.
