Sequences Podcast No 192 It’s been a hectic month so far delaying producing the usual two editions. So, here we have the latest, no 192, with the next one streaming at the beginning of June. A quick word on the new faces are Elderado Omega a dark ambient/drone project from Atlanta USA, Gydja, (Abby Helasdottir) on Winter-Light with expansive drones, woven through with intricate percussive elements unearthly vocals, and atmospheric field recordings, French composer and multi-instrumentalist Christine Ott weaves a unique dramaturgy between contemporary classical and electro-acoustic music, with Silver Galaxy a four-piece lineup fronted by Anna Maria Van Reusel a Berlin-based musician/producer working in a broad spectrum of sounds. From the archives comes a track from the album Ex Cathedra by Kubusschnit formed in 1999 on the base of WEirD by musicians of that group Andy Bloyce and Jens Peschke then adding Ruud Heij and Tom Coppens. Playlist No 192 02.02 Johan Agebjörn & Mikael Ögren ‘Monitoring The Zooids’

One of our listeners found Sequences podcasts on several more music sites, these include Owitail.com, Podbay.com, Himalaya.com, Mytuner-Radio.com & Book.com without our permission, but in one way it’s more outlets to get the music across on the internet. Again there’s plenty of diversity in this edition which we always try to achieve with ten new names appearing, perhaps not all their music here is to everybody’s taste, but hopefully, it makes it more interesting to hear sounds that you might pass by. Don’t forget to check the playlist & bio pages of individual musicians on our website. We leave you now with the new project ‘Kontrol Raum’ by Bas Broekhuis, Frank Rothe & Mario Schonwalder.

Another slightly extended edition by 30 minutes, trying to get a backlog of new releases that have been on hold while moving to a new home. Quite a lot of musicians appearing for the first time on Sequences, nine in total giving us a broad range of styles from quirky experiments to Berlin school & dark ambient to symphonic scores. Steve Roach joins us with his sonic continuation of mystical captivating spacious sounds, the rich tranquil ambient music of New Zealander Rudy Adrian, rhythmical sequence lines from Ian Boddy’s modular synths blending with Markus Reuter’s overlaid beautiful guitar parts soaring overhead, Thaneco evoking melodies from certain colors with RNGMNN unforgiving dark landscapes disorientating & unsettling, are just a few of the musicians joining us again.

A quick blurb, we are back with only one edition this March, because as I mentioned before, with moving home without the internet for 10 days, taking time unpacking everything, setting out the studio/ office up again & going through over 1000 emails, we haven’t had the time to compile our usual two. Had a problem with the software I’m using to do the mixing, their upgrade buggered everything up, now with no mouse control for Mac which is useless, saying this was demo & wanted another 80 dollars to register it. Found a free one quickly but it’s going to take time to sort it out, didn’t get round to figuring out how to mix the music with the audio text so no intro from Karen.

This will be the only edition for this month due to Mick moving in shortly to his newly built abode, which is a month earlier than expected. If we have time there’s a possibility of a “best of” to fill the gap. As we rely on what goes on each episode monthly from the latest releases coming in, the range of music can vary. On this latest one, it’s more laid back with various ambient styles, symphonic & ethereal sounds, although there is uptempo stuff too.

With Christmas nearly upon us, we are going to take time off to chill-out after a busy year with the podcasts. This edition will be the only one for December so as a bonus, we have given you an extra hour of engaging music to enjoy. We would like to thank all of our listeners for your support tuning in throughout the year as well as a special thanks to the musicians who have given us such a range of superb music in 2020. I know it’s been a struggle for many of you where lockdowns have almost destroyed live music throughout the globe but at least it has led to the growth of Internet streaming of live performances. Let’s hope a New Year brings better news for all of us and we can once again appreciate playing to real audiences enjoying the atmosphere created by a live setting on stage. From all the team Mick, Mike, Andy & of course me, your virtual girl, Happy Christmas & a brighter New Year for all humanity.
