Why is it that people seem not to learn from the past? Some seem to simply forget, others to not see the similarities to past events. And while the new media is called "social", it is not. It builds information bubbles one easily gets caught in. And from all those places your brain gets stuffed with useless and often faulty or invented information that makes one dizzy. It's important to not rely on one source only, and it is also important to identify and silence all the noise and listen carefully. Like you should on tonight's edition with joyful but rather ambient music given in tracks by Robert Rich (Space Camp), Altus (Echo Bloom), Stefan Erbe (LemGo - live on EC-Festival), Conny Olivetti (A Longing for Rural Peace), Ótal (Fjöður), Peter Phippen & Eric "the" Taylor (Two By Twilight), Volker Rapp (Silent Running), Ian Craig (The Four States Of Matter: Liquid Volume 1), Cousin Silas & Ramón Sánchez (Cousin Silas & Friends Vol. 9 Pt. 10).
On March 16th the German prize for electronic music, the Schallwelle will be awarded to the winners of 2012. The nominees for the international prizes are all in tonight's show, where two awards are given: best artist and best album. There are five nominees in each category, resuting in the following 7 artists or formations: Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder, Erik van der Heijden, Glenn Main, Ian Boddy & Erik Wøllo, Pieter Nooten, Space Art, and VoLt.
Back from a short wild trip to New York City, and I think tonight's choice in music somewhat reflects the mood of that place. A lively and narcissistic city that reaches out to the sky even when beaten down. Similar holds for the sounds of this show, I'd say. Music that seems to love itself, gets lost in the wild, but always well grounded. It all starts with electronic rock by Computerchemist and Zsolt Galántai's Signatures, which comes in two volumes. Followed by some nice referencing work by Uwe Cremer and Thomas Rydell with their Sirius Singularity. Entering a bit more drive and harshness with Pandacetamol's Crestfallen. It's Mythos then bringing us a peek of Surround Sound Evolution, although not surround on the show. And closing up with another track from the Signatures album.
Weekend is near, time to downshift. Simply take place in your long chair, lean back, close your eyes and listen to syndae. Fetch a breeze of summer and easiness with the right sounds on your ears. We have a slow start tonight with Stefan Erbe. And we will not speed up in this 30 minutes of chilling music, like brought to you by Insomus. Getting very much Malibu feeling with Mark P. Adler. Some fresh and unbending sound colour variations then from a preview on the upcoming album by Tonefabric, going Florida-ish and Indian. And finishing it all with a marvellous track by Soundwalker.
Getting into music for restless legs in this fresh edition. At the beginning, I have two tracks of the compilation This is good tea for you, sounds and beats by City at Worlds end and Aetheros. These are immediately followed by german artist Noston, with a track from Six, and polish composer Dieter Werner, giving a confession. Not stopping yet, as we then have Aris Hatzidakis from Greece giving us Birn. And our luscious closer comes from Faktor4's album Chciliatic.
Going for some mental and cinematic experiences on tonight's show, music that makes you vibe and gives fun. Right at the start comes the recent album by Steve Roach, this time together with Byron Metcalf, providing really enigmatic sounds. Something new to syndae follows up, music from a tv score written by Blake Neely and very electronic music alike. Some great waveform thereafter by the music project named Point, and more wonderful music by Voyager. Finally, this episode closes with brilliant live music from a session by Weldroid.
