• 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).

     

Golden soundwaves

Episode 768

Yes, we are back. A short forced break, so it's the return of syndae, but also the return to the golden age of sequencing with this edition. This music is still one of the drivers for EM, serving some sounds that come in waves and simply pull you with them into the wonderful world of aural colours and natural rhythm of life. I think it's the ever steadiness of change that grabs me each time, when a sequence kicks in and takes over the beat of my thinking and feeling. And tonight is no difference with the great music by Robert Schroeder (Mosaique. Edit 2025), Vanderson (2055), DASK Music (Transitions (2025)), Harald Gramberg (Sequences), Yakuza Jacuzzi (Space Race), Ivan Black (Book List).
