Blog and Website for Mystified and Mister Vapor. Magical, Vaporous, Hazy Music.
A not-for-profit New Zealand dance troupe, BackLit Productions, will use several mystified pieces in upcoming dance performances, including a dance festival showing in October.
Another nice use for mystified’s music!
This release originally came out in 2004 on Seetyca’s “Mbira” label as a cdr. It is a series of arctic ambient pieces inspired by the Jensen Arctic Museum in Monmouth. The conception was Seetyca’s, and mystified added a few soundloops and other elements. Final mixing was by Artin Mucht. The result is stark, cold, and beautiful– Treetrunk hopes you enjoy it.
In 2009, The Ghost Between The Strings approached Mister Vapor with some interesting guitar-based loop structures, proposing that Vapor remix the loops, adding percussion and other light touches. The result is an engaging, often gritty industrial sound that makes a good sequel to “Urbscape”. Music for driving in the city at night.
Reviewer Mazzy has made a nice review of mystified’s 12″ vinyl, “Pulse Ringer Pieces” (Droehnhaus, 2009). You can read the review here:

Cosmic and dreamy ambient from US based artist Thomas Park. It is an essay on sublime space music. Hearkening back to early Brian Eno, the emphasis is on quiet melodies and limitless spaces. The first release in the “Cosmoaudiography” series. First 10 comes with A3 size poster.

In Mid-2009, mystified asked some of his peers if they would try remixing his sounds. He was especially happy with 9 of these remixes, and wanted to release them together to give people a chance to listen.
These 9 remixes vary in style but all are high in quality and all do exciting things with the sounds of mystified.
