There is a whole genre of music whose only job is to be tolerated. Hold music. The loop in the ceiling speaker at the dentist. The four bars that repeat while a clinic explains that your call is important. Most of it is built to fill twenty minutes without being noticed, which is a strange brief to hand a composer and an insulting one to hand a listener. Wire Mix 013 takes the brief seriously instead. An hour for the time before your name is called, made by people who think waiting is a real thing that happens to real people, and that it deserves better than a synth harp.
