Sound footages

Episode 777

So, recently I mentioned that show, which definitely was sci-fi. Last week I watched another TV show, that started out as kind of film noir, but then surprisingly turned into sci-fi as well. Completely unnecessary in my opinion, as I liked the show up to this twist. A similar experience sometimes occurs with a song. It starts out great as space ambient, but then unexpectedly turns, for example, into some soapy pop, completely throwing me off and makes it vanish from my playlist. Luckily for us, all tracks of this edition "behave well". Some definitely have twists, but well made and for the better. So, please, join me for some ambient greatness by moonbooter (Syncope 2), Jaffe (Depth), Ambient Indigo and Time Away (Mystical Cities), Bernd-Michael Land (Schwer-Metall: Klang aus Erde), Anantakara (Glimpse Of Changes), Cousin Silas & Mr Z (The Cardinal Points: East Part 2), Markus Reuter & Stephan Thelen (Promise of a Better World).

 

Smells like harmony

Episode 775

After yet another busy week, I prefer a bit lighter evening. Especially, before hot and stormy weather reaches us on the weekend. Crazy world. Also crazy is that series I am watching, where people's brains get split to properly seperate work from life. Quite a popular show, it seems, which I only found out about as I watched a video by Charles Cornell, who was amazed by the tv's title theme. And I agree, the intro music is really cool and to the point, very much what I like about cinematic music. Kind of like the title theme for the Westworld series, which got me immediately, when I heard it. Well, we are not in the world of cinematic sounds tonight, but rather one the easy side. But, of course, I have great music for you by Enigmatic Obsession (Secrets of Seduction), Tony Sieber (Because we are), Matt Goodluck (Portals), Ambient Ballroom (Bionic Steam Stream), Lane, Gregorius, Smith (Lost Desert Highway), Roberto Sass ft. Enlia (We're so much more than shadows), Code Indigo (Endgame), Erik Wøllo (Gateway (remaster)), Dino Pacifici (Unfocused Dream Fragments), Marcator (PanAroma Reincarnations), moonbooter (Syncope 1).

 

Networthy sounds

Episode 776

Once a year, the vast amount of netlabels out there join in for a special day: the netlabel day. Same so in 2025, where they put out once again such a massive amount of releases that it is difficult to listen to them all in a week. I tried my best to select some of the cool releases fitting the style of syndae as close as possible. Tonight is the first bunch of songs from that occasion, and there may be more to come. For tonight, enjoy with me the sounds of Tim Koch + Waldgrenze (Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation), BTB (The Strongest Friend in the Universe), Particle of Soul (Particle of soul), Mas&Delayer (Heroes in my bed), Pasquale Maassen vs Peter Mummert (Netlabel Day 2025 Techno Warriors), Pablo Javier Piacente (El Antiguo Dolor De La Selva), Anderdog (Netlabel Day 2025), Soft and Furious (The Flood), Eko_Fisk & Gears in the Rain (Zenapolae 25), C da 76er (Anime Christrumentals), Potenciómetro (Crema), Space Ark Slum Lord (clay makes no protest), Isien (Kanashibari World), Plateau Sigma (The Great Reset).

 

A wild but steady ride

Episode 774

 Have you heard of this 100 percent AI band that gained momentum the past weeks? I've seen several reports on this artificial artists on Youtube and it's quite astonishing how well their music is received. The Velvet Sundown was created completely from artificial intelligent sources, especially their music and their band photos. And still, people seemed to like it, as the numbers on Spotify and otherwise say. I only heard some excerpts, definitely not my style of music, and it did sound kind of bland. But quite a lot of current popular music does. So it's great to be back on the side of human made electronic and electric sounds and music with tonight's great edition featuring Wildsilences vs Progeny -1 (Wild Moon Remixes), moonbooter (Syncope 1 & 2), Spiralectric (Durchströmungen 4 - Wellenbrecher), Klangwelt (Second Nature), D. Batistatos (Cosmicleaf Mixtape 004 (Psychill)), Holle Mangler (Tales From A Fairyworld (Part 2)), Markus Reuter (TRUCE 3), Maximum Movement Theatre (The June Solstice 2025), Otarion (Time of Nations).
