Campfire Stories 12 (A Warm Place) by Tomas Jirku by Silent Season

~ About The Story ~

My campfire story is drawn from an impressionable era in my music listening past. Many of these songs had a direct influence on my music making, as they achieve the great depth in sound and atmosphere that I have always strived for in my own work. The result of tying them together for this mix is like a time-capsule I sent to myself from long ago. The title refers not only to one of the opening songs, but also to the refuge that a fire offers when night and cold descend on my alpine camp during a backpacking trip. - Tomas Jirku
