Tonight’s show features two new albums: a short EP from 4T Thieves (whose retirement from music seems greatly exaggerated) and a unique album from Konejo, The Moodygoer — filled with ambience from many, many movies — each excerpt about a minute of ambience from a movie, accompanied by an improvised soundtrack, plus a live Equinoctal, Stranger Around These Parts.
You know those days when you come home and look in the fridge and realize you forgot to go shopping, and still have to make dinner? That’s today’s show, except our library is full of tasty things; we’ve got a random selection of whatever sounds good tonight, with Loren Nerell, Shalmaneser, grum-pé, those Thom Brennan tracks we didn’t play from last week, and a lot more.
This episode features a new album from Thom Brennan, “Typhoon“, a very deep and complex ambient album from Oberlin, “The Dymaxion Variations” (so good our listeners insisted on staying late to have me play the track I’d left out for time!), and Faex Optim’s space-age “Mercury“.
This episode brings together a number of short releases from the Monotonik netlabel, from izmar, sleepy town manufacture, jiva, Akira Kosemura, bliss, planet boelex, lackluster, and Ollie Cram. More beats than usual tonight!
This episode, we feature multiple artists from the Monotonik netlabel, and feature two full albums from Troupe (It’s Really Pretty Simple After All) and Tatsu (August). We’ll also have the albums Sound of Subnatura, Hexual Ceiling, Emotions in a Box, and several other unnamed albums.
This episode centers around π , circles, and irrationality — whether loving thing irrationally, or irrational motives; circular motion, or music that feels circular. There were technical issues during the broadcast, apparently occurring somewhere between the broadcast machine and the streaming server — Gypsy Witch had to literally kill the connection before the show could be restarted – so the sections that were interrupted, restarted, or skipped were dropped from this recording.
Nothing like a little weirdness to go with an irrational number!
This episode, we feature two new albums: one from Kahvi, a theme and variations via remix of the title track, Heimferd, by HRYM, with remixes by 4T Thieves, Keiss, Mitoma, Murya, and Abdicant.
The second has an unusual and happy story attached to it: it’s a new release from Thom Brennan, Eventide, which was recorded in the early 00’s and lost in Thom’s archives. He found it while cleaning up earlier this year, and has released it for us, almost 20 years later; it’s still a fresh and lovely recording.
We round out our slightly-short second hour with a track from Thought Guild’s Archiphonic release, to match the old but new tracks from Thom.
Tonight’s show is a little different; rather than featuring a number of tracks by the same artist, I’ve instead chosen to select tracks that vaguely follow my own history of people I’ve met over they years in electronic music, from the earliest days of email lists and Usenet newsgroups right up to the current day: RadioSpiral, Discord, and Second Life.
We’ll hear music from Team Metlay, CASSIEL, Thom Brennan, Loren Nerrell, Tantroniq, Cousin Silas, Mercaptan, Ozone Player, our own Gypsy Witch and ʞu¡0ɹʞS, and many more.
Tonight we have a new album from Kahvi, Flagstaff Mountains by Escher Adams, and two by Wolfgang Nachahmer – Tryptychon and Nachtwache. We’ll also hear a pre-recorded (because I couldn’t get my hardware to cooperate) Equinoctal, Converted to Light. I hope to be performing more Equinoctals as time goes on.
This episode features three artists from the Mahorka netlabel: Encased in Amber, Virtually J, and V.
Encased in Amber’s album, Parallel Worlds, is a real treat! Beautiful timbres, excellent performances, and a great melodic sense.
Encased in Amber says about themselves:
The music of Encased in Amber tells it’s stories
through an intricate mesh of melodies and texture.
Described as downtempo, ambient, and dreamy, Encased
in Amber puts forth the concept that each time a piece
of music is written it crystallizes what was felt and
processed in that moment of time, like a fossil caught
in amber.
What I can say is that it’s a great premiere album, and the artist assures me that there’ll be another release later this year.
It’s only a half-hour long, so we’ve got some unapologetic techno from Virtually J’s Autocracy Mage and some cool-down tracks from V’s 23.56.04 to fill out the rest of the podcast.
As always, I’ve linked to the Bandcamp pages for these albums; they’re pay-what-you-like, so support the artists to whatever extent you can.
Enjoy!
