i like taking the time to order playlists to convey a specific feeling or story. sometimes i challenge myself connect songs that dont have any business being on the same playlist its time consuming but very rewarding

playlists are allowed to have an order like albums do

I curate the vibes from beginning to end. I am told that is a weird request to make of people when I make them a playlist. I think I am just taking someone on a journey- plus transitioning from one song to another flawlessly always itches my brain in a satisfying way.

it just takes some time and getting the right feeling

i recently made a cd mixtape for a gift exchange with friends and i had to limit myself to 80 minutes. first step was to stalk the spotify of the playlist receiver, and i added songs that i knew from their playlists to the playlist for them. i also added songs from artists we liked in common, and songs from memories we have together. it ended up being like 7 hours worth of songs so i just sat down for a looooong period of time and cracked away at editing it, trying to just curate that indescribable feeling that you find in a playlist someone made for you. i also like to order songs to make the transitions between them sound good when i’m making a playlist for someone; i imagined them listening to the cd in the car and how it would sound for the songs to switch, would it sound natural or clunky? and a playlist made with a loving hand will always have a beautiful charm to it so don’t worry or overthink it to much. 💌

try to view it as a project to develop

I always try to take more time with my playlists and block out an hour or so to start curating one so it doesn't feel like such a throwaway task! sometimes i like to have them as time capsules, but i also love going back to them a month / year etc later and updating them so it feels like an ongoing project. linked an example one :)
