• Holy sequencing

    It's been more than 20 years ago now that I've been living in Berlin. And while I seldom look or go back physically, maybe for a short visit now and then, I often do so in my mind. Especially, when listening to music from the Golden Age of EM, where many of the artists being in synthesized sounds "went" to its School. There are still several artists from the old guard out there, some still producing new music. But many of the space ambient style music nowadays comes from a younger folks. And their take on Berlin style sounds, while surely referencing the ideas of the past, are fresh and current and also timeless. Join me for a mental visit to Berlin with great music by NGC 224 (Mystic Forests), Novaexperiment (Quantum Pulse), Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen (Unfolding Skies), Joerg Dankert (Back to Berlin), Paul Ellis (Room Of The Lost One), IcingWolf (Crossroads), Ivan Black (Black 3), Small Chief (Zero Movement).

     

Owning your path

Episode 750

Taking your own way is not always easy on yourself. It usually means to be smiled upon for not following the main stream or longing for success, as others define it. The core point most often is to follow ones heart and ideas to fulfill one's "need" to express oneself. It's not necessarily some hard choices or descisions to be made, but it may take some courage and choices in live others do not understand. Well, at least it takes some guts to put out your own creations to the world for good or bad, as one never knows about what response to expect. The Schallwelle award's Your Own Way prize is interested in rather unusual ways for finding into electronic music.
