• 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).

     

Aural seeds in autumn

Episode 787

So, this was a timely surprise this week, when Klaus from Schallwende e.V. announced that the annual club CD is ready for shipment. Why am I excited? Because I, or rather Talking to Ghosts, made it onto that compilation once again. And it is always great to find your work appreciated, ain't it? Hence, I remodelled this edition of syndae last minute to let you know about this cool compilation and some of the exciting tracks. Well, including mine, but that's shameless self promotion. Sorry, guys. And, of course, there is more new stuff to present, so I compiled a sparse collection from the CD for this edition. I hope you will enjoy the show, as it has some really cool and fresh tracks to listen to, given to us by Lunaar, Hajo Liese und Marcel (Cello) Dudé, Talking to Ghosts, GotamaX, Colin Rayment, and Hyrn (Schallplatte 28: The World of Plants), Kellerkind Berlin (Well ... it's Hope), Vortex Elements (Movement), Nonima + Abdicant (Phase Memory), Roberto Sass (Beyond the Belt of Orion).
