• 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).

     

Imaginary hands carrying you

Episode 753

When I was younger I was a fanatic fan of swimming and diving. It always had a bit of being in space, "hovering" weightlessly over the ground, kind of flying like a bird. Not sure what made this stop when I got older. It is funny to think of water and air as so similar, except for their particle density. So are fish the equivalent of birds in water? Well, one might argue. However, this hovering in some medium or in no medium, when it comes to space, is kind of fascinating, don't you think? And there is the perfect music for reaching a similar state in mind: Ambient. So, my dear friends in sound, let's go hovering in music tonight with cool tracks by Altus (Ultraviolet), Dashmesh (Biomimesis), Byron Metcalf, John Gregorius, Sean O'Bryan Smith (Primordial Awakening), Cass Anawaty (Cascades), Grant Beasley (Radiant Dawn), Deborah Martin & Cheryl Gallagher (Tibet), dominykas niaura (bevietystė), Tony Gerber (Finland), Solitaire (Trance Halcyon Connection).
