Episodes

We just did a full circle. That is, I am happy to announce syndae's 360th edition, one show for every degree of the perfect two dimensional form. Now guess, where the word circus stems from? Right! And all this introduction leads us to the main topic of the show: the Electronic Circus. The festival is right ahead, one month to go, on October 1st. With quite some cool acts and of course all your musical friends are awaiting you. Some teasers, of course, you will find in tonight's edition, as there are Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Ulrich Schnauss, Metroland, BAR*, and Fryderyk Jona.

Oh boy, it is definitely too hot for my Chinchilla. And if that phrase reminds you of a specific song, even that would let me burst into beads of sweat. Incredible weather, nearly freezing last week, boiling hot came this one. So, even I had all the ambient sounds around me in the last edition, I still cannot bear to go the quick and beatful material.

It does not take words or big arrangements to get emotions into music. Listening carefully to this show will offer you a variety of such feelings in a quite quiet form. And I would assume, even if you are not listening, which is one purpose of ambient music, you will still get the hints of moods offered by its vibrations.

Licensing music for broad- or podcasting is always an issue with big label music. In Germany, there only is one copyright collective organization at the moment, and one has to check for licensed music. That is why syndae eis registered to that organization allowing to play some of the music and artists they represent. With this right to play such music come some rules restricing the podcast episode. Hence, tonight's episode has a running time of only 30 minutes. Now you know why. An extended version of the show thankfully is available with the Modul 303 webradio, where you will get more music (see below for details).

We are all grown ups, so school is way back, is it not? Well, not for quite anybody, as there are many electronic musicians out there sticking to a very particular one. And those musicians bring in fresh wind in many aspects, so it doesn't become old school either.

Headphones on, volume up and dive into it. This is a lotsa fun episode, bringing back memories for the older generation (like me) and a joyful ride for anyone. Back in the days, when videos were still played from tapes, synthesizers conquered the music world and this specific kind of synth style was all around. Yeah, one might call it retro, but it still sounds cool in modern clothes.

So I asked for the summer last week? Well, it just hit me a day later and now I cannot drop cloths fast enough. My, there was no reason to prove anything, you bright hot star! Ok then, if I cannot move or otherwise would leave a water trail the music cannot be to agitated. Going a bit more quiet tonight, well, mostly at least.

Where is the summer? Well, definitely not at my place currently, but on the other hand, there is nothing stopping me from putting together another one hour show for syndae. The good, the bad, and the proggie.

What is more fitting than having syndae on sunday? Well, I hope you are fine with the new time and will still enjoy the show. Which, btw., comes in a one hour edition tonight covering some ground after missing out one show. And it also provides very fine tracks I'd like to say, somewhat chilling but also a little tiny bit faster ones. Be my guest with music by moonbooter, HiKE, Ech0 Delta, Melotone, Dub Trees, Protuberance, Christian Heun, Flembaz, Extrarausch, In Vitro, and Mark Dorricott & Stan Dart.
