This is an excerptional show you will find tonight, as it is edition 80-0 of syndae, which will feature a look back at the beginnings of electronic music as we share our love in. Right, back in those golden ages for EM some ingenious people started experimenting with electronic equipment and the like to invent a new style in sound and music, and lay the foundation for many more and, admittedly, more popular styles we (in parts have to) listen to these modern days. There might be an alternative universe out there not having these geniuses at work, well, they would miss out on great stuff. Join me for a tiny celebration and time travel with the music by Klaus Schulze (Timewind), Jean-Michel Jarre (Les Chants Magnétiques), Kraftwerk (Minimum - Maximum), Tangerine Dream (Ricochet (Live)), Manuel Göttsching (E2-E4).
It's all about easy rhythms and warm soundscapes, spiced with nice and beautiful melodies. Yes, we're going quite relaxed into the night with artists known to and new to the syndae podcast. For a relieving half an hour, go for a nice place and listen to Altus, Darshan Ambient, Dubtrix, Marow, Radio Free Clear Light, and The X-Structure.
Another week bites the dust. Let's praise those who invented the weekend, as it is quite delicious to have one. Tonight's episode will go into the quiet realms, as we did several times before. It's all fresh, recent releases to please your ears with fine sound taking you on a silent journey from your heart to your soul. Take a deep breath of music with tracks by Ken Elkinson, Michael Sandler, Phillip Wilkerson, Sam Rosenthal, and Steve Roach.
So what happens in a two weeks time with no podcast? Well, I had a brilliant time at the sea relaxing and filling up my battery. Did you miss the show? Whether or not, it's back with some nice new tunes making one dream or moving ones feet. Emotions in very expressive forms tonight, brought to you with the following tracks by Andrea Milana, Eric van der Heijden, General Fuzz, Loom, Rudolf Heimann, and Waterplea.
Tonight we're going from ambient to traditional to modern EM, having very recent releases on the show again. Starting out with the new album by Erik Wøllo having very ambient sounds, visit the fresh release by Johannes Schmoelling, and going on a shifted tunes trip with the Cosmic Octave Orchestra. We then go relaxing with Geigertek and enjoy two tracks of a new free of cost sampler having Magic Dimension and Alpha Lyra.
This also is the last episode before a short break, as there will be no new show until November.
Looking back at the Electronic Circus festival, which I and hundereds more were visiting on October 15th to enjoy a fabulous day in Die Weberei. A perfect location, and a perfect line up that turned out to be even better than expected. Glenn made a wonderful opener to the Circus, taking us back to the best years of Jarre transposed into the future. A total surprise to me, and actually my winner of that day, were Schroyder,Skrzek, and Alien Voices, who left me totally stunned wrt. their performance and musical greatness. Unfortunately, no recordings available yet, but I will surely see to put my hands on it. Wave world and Picture Palace music both did very fine performances, overall a magnificent mix of music from traditional to post-rock, spanning from relaxing music and totally getting pushed to ones electronic limits.
The Circus also was the birthplace for at least 17 new releases, some of which I will present on tonight's episode. Amongst these releases were albums by Alien Nature, F.D.Project, Kikai, Matzumi, René vd. Wouden, Synth.nl, Uwe Reckzeh, and Wellenfeld. Furthermore, we take an ear on the upcoming release by moonbooter and close with Stefan Erbe, introducing a soon to come event surely also top notch and available tickets.
