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).
As promised, tonight continuing with the nominees for the Schallwelle awards, this time all those named for national artist and album. List to the most favorited musicians for 2012 with BatteryDead, Loom, Matzumi, Michael Brückner, Picture Palace music, Sankt Otten, Schiller, Stefan Erbe, Steve Schroyder & Alien Voice.
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.
