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).
A big bunch of hot and fresh music comes around these days. Here comes an episode featuring 4 brand new releases by Claudio Merlini, David Helpling & Jon Jenkins, Picture Palace music, and Ron Boots & Synth.NL, plus one yet unreleased track by a newcomer to EM and syndae, Klangzaun.
Time draws near the Ricochet Gathering, only two weeks before an early electronic christmas in Berlin. And here comes even more music of participating artists. On tonight's show, enjoy marvellous and fascinating tracks by Akasha Project, B. Ashra, Daniel Bloom, Krzysztof Horn, and an exclusive audio excerpt by Remy.
Going to catch up with one of the biggest German EM events coming up in about two weeks: the Ricochet Gathering. Four days of electronic music starting around noon and ending late at night each day, having improvisation sessions as well as regular concerts and, moreover, featuring a press session with Johannes Schmölling on Saturday. Sounds like a real feast, and what's more to know about the Gathering and the man behind you will get to know on tonight's special, featuring an interview with Vic Rek of Ricochet Dream, including some musical excerpts by Paul Lawler, Jerome Froese, and from the 2003 edition of the Gathering. And don't miss volume 2, having more music by artists playing live in Berlin at the Ricochet Gathering.
Diving deep into ambient on tonight's volume 2 of episode 103. Give your body a rest and inhale the dark and often unusual atmospheres of the tracks by Craig Vear, Creosote, Human Metronome, Nadim Haque, and Rudy Adrian.
Another two volume episode to please you all. Tomorrow, we dive into the depth of the deepest ambient music. But for tonight, there's more festival music on the show, making you hungry for E-Live 2010 and the Ricochet Gathering. You can barely get more electronic music these days, which of we have a very tiny selection with tracks by AirSculpture, EL-KA, Polaris, Sunya Beat, and the "Muflon Sorcerers" a.k.a. Paul Lawler, Dave Brewer, Conrad Gibbons and Yarek.
