syndae - podcast on fine electronic music

[treibklang]

It's that religious season time in spring where people start hunting for eggs in the backyard. Well, no egg hunting here and no prayers, but ten tracks I found fitting for a more quiet and relaxing time. Not drifting into ambient, but a mix of electronic and acoustic treats that will be yummy for your ears (even you do not have the extra long rabbit ones). By the way, the tradition of decorating eggs is far older than its current use for easter. Eggs have been associated with death and rebirth back to some Egypt and similar cultures ages ago. No need to think about Christianity rites. But enough of shelling around, let's get into fine music with tracks by Sonic Transients (The Rhoen Tapes), Progeny -1 (Dreams Across the Cosmos), Architect of Echoes (Circulus), Shajan (Garden Of Eden), Otarion (Logos), ANNA (Intentions), Christina Tourin (Geodepedie - Hidden Light), Fiona Joy Hawkins & Rebecca Daniel (To The Wind), Spencer Brewer (Behind The Veil), Masako (Call of the Mountains: Ascent).

Quieter times ahead on this edition of syndae. Right, I needed some peace out time again. It was a busy week with the holidays. Especially, if you need to go shopping on the weekend. Shops were closed on Friday, Sunday and Monday, so people tend to go crazy and stuff their carts as if there were no tomorrow. Luckily this time we pre-planned a bit and went shopping at not so busy times early in the morning. Right, the early bird catches the quieter queue at checkout. I like it quiet, and here we go with tonight's tracks by Philipp Baumann (Across Starfields), Carbonates On Mars (The Four Elements: Earth. Volume 1), Rudy Adrian (A Walk in the Shadow Garden), Jeff Greinke (A Thousand Year Flood), Bernhard Wöstheinrich (Genre), Volker Lankow (The Transience Of Life), Janne Hanhisuanto (39), Hiram (Air Songs), Ivan Black (@Ambient Online 4).

This is it, the beasty number of a show. If you have religious believes or not, you will surely have heard of the number associated with the devil himself. Or herself. Who knows. The impersonation of the bad. Or is it? In this concept, the folly oversees and punishes all those who sinned according to some religious rules. Well, for me it is difficult to tell, whether there are people without such sins anyhow. But it definitely reflects that there always is good and bad people in the world. I'm in no position to judge, but it is beyond my logical reasoning, why human beings always have to fight about things or believes. Anyhow. Come in and join me for some devilish fun with music by Peru (The Prophecies), Cinema (The Discovering of Time), Soul Flask (The Cassandra Complex), Michael Shipway (Beneath Folly), Robert Fox (Timeless Vol 2), Time Away & AthinaNiki (Age of Water), Curious Inversions (Iterations), B. Ashra (Satellites), Cousin Silas & Kevin Lyons (The Fortean Project - Phase Two), Kaya Project (Waypoint).

From hell to chill with this new edition. Yes, I thought it would be nice to relax from the devlish sound. And it's nice to relax for an hour as well, as this was a quite busy week again work-wise. And maybe, just maybe, getting a bit more into the Summer vibe will help with the weather, too? Ok, I doubt it as well, but one may hope, no? It's still around zero degrees here in midth of Spring. But let's get off this introduction and turn towards the great music on tonight's show. Here you get Tuuligan (Flying Away), Stan Dart ft. Colin Rayment (Dreams), Ronald Van Deurzen, Sonic Transients (The Rhoen Tapes), Anna Miranda (Intentions), Liuos (Heavy Dub Vol. , Network 23 (Space Rock 2: Out of this World), Alex Figueira (Mentallogenic), Francisco Nicosia (Historias secreta), Windmill (I Miss U So).

It's bandcamp day, my dear friends in waveforms. Quite a tradition that bandcamp introduced during Covid high-times to support the artists, so they said. Well, seems the idea paid well not only for the artists but for the company as well. However, it's definitely good for the artists to get all of the revenue and for listeners who can truely only support the artist and not the plaform. With the exception of one track, all the music from tonight's edition is available on bandcamp. So make use of the day and get yourself some nice treats. Also, check out the past editions of the show. And now get into the fine music of Thaneco (Structures on Mars), Steve Roach & Michael Shrieve (The Leaving Time), Daniel Zarzycki (Dziękuję Klaus), Oscar Postma, Architect of Echoes (Circulus), Phono Input (Modular Jam #563), Altus (Descender).

The best way to find great music nowadays is to listen to online radio shows and podcasts. Like you are listening to syndae for the style of music you like, there are other excellent shows out there featuring similar styles in sound. Like the outstanding Electronic Fusion by Brainvoyager. Here you have Jos producing a two hour show of ambient and electronic music week for week for several years now. Last week he hit edition number 400. Time to celebrate with a special compilation put out by Legacy of Thought. And that's the music you will get tonight. Quite some electronic fusion tracks by Brainvoyager & Sleepingenius (Voyage Through The Brain), Wane of Summer, K37, Xavion, Promethex, Big Beech, Tolubai, Roberto Sass, Talking to Ghosts, Progeny -1 and Time Away (Electronic Fusion).

Did you ever travel in a balloon? I'm not sure I would do it. Too afraid, I think. It's only some hot air that keeps one from crashing down. Lots of strings attached, but none of them will hold you up. And I think I am afraid of heights as well. Wasn't always that way, maybe it comes with the age? So, anyone, how is it to ride a balloon? Well, at least I would imagine it to be a smooth and calm ride. Like the music you will get on tonight's edition with tracks by Steve Roach & Vir Unis (Blood Machine), Christian Fiesel (Radio Noise Station), Däcker, alfa00 & Nimbostrata (INTENT 2023: Eunoia), Aarktica (Paeans), Karmacosmic (Imagine - Music for Reading), Wellengärtner (Live At 35blumen), Progeny-1 (Ariann of Myth Nantar)

Ambient, Chill and now... Dance, of course. We are picking up more speed this week with some beats that may move your legs, if you want it or not. Well, we are not going full techno, but definitely dancable stuff. A quite sad closing though, as we lost one of the fun guys these days with Anfrando Maiola aka Koto. From his music I would conclude he would like you to live happily ever after and dance your name in the sand. Join in for beefier beats by Counterfly ft. Alec Troniq (The Only Land Where), DXN and Toxic Derwish (INTENT 2023: Kinetikos), Adriano Canzian (Aggressiva), Mar io (Choplifter), Tomchilla & mexCalito (The Cave), Patrick 9000 (Endless Journey), Elrox (Selveste Direktøren), Koto (Greatest Hits & Remixes).

Summer is getting closer in the Northern Hemisphere. So hopefully there will be some sunny days, not too hot of course, but quite enough to collect some vitamin D. And it is always a nice view to have those golden sunbeams make the water sparkle and schimmer between the leafs of trees. Similarly, it is nice to take a look back at the golden ages of traditional electronic music and relish the sparkles of soundscaping and sequencing of that time. Well, time to open the jar and let in the experienced and fresh artists of this genre to make us happy with newly discovered and re-imagined past sound treats. Tonight you will get great tunes by Filter-Kaffee (Dziękuję Klaus), Wellengärtner (Preview Güterhallen Sollingen), Fritz Mayr and Mac of BIOnighT (Coordinates Vol. 11), Astralmuse and Philipp Baumann (Misplaced Memories), Ivan Black (A Return To The Berlin School 2023).

Do you like walking by the sea? I'd say many humans do. Why? Well, let's ask ChatGPT, which says: "Humans are often drawn to walking by the sea due to a combination of factors, including the inherent beauty and tranquility of coastal environments and the numerous physical and psychological benefits associated with being near the ocean." So one main factor also is relaxation and stress relief. Well, do you always have a sea at hand? I definitely do not. But there we have Ambient music. This works for me for sure, maybe for you as well? Take an hour of aural well-being with this edition featuring Germind (Meditation, Vol. 2), Abdicant (I Am Not Sure How This Makes Me Feel), Sonic Bodhi (Future Dreams), Jingoba Electric (Breathe TM), 1414E08 (Synth City), Stratosphere (Cyclus), Aglaia (Along the Vast Ancient River).

Are you going on vacations? Well, many of my colleagues are leaving soon for summer to cherish some nice and lovely place out there. My wife and I were gone already and had some relaxing and joyful time at the Baltic Sea. Lovely weather, lovely environment and a lot of fun and peace and ice cream, of course, loads of ice cream. Isn't it fascinating how many ice cream parlours are in places people stay for holidays? Well, not all of them have good stuff, I can tell you that from experience (hahaha). So, what's vacation and ice cream have to do with tonight's music? Actually, nothing. You will get great tracks, though, provided to us by Atom Brigade (Atom Brigade), Collagist (Vjetnam), MigloJE (Elements 2), Genda (INTENT 2023: Kinetikos), Adrian Brewer (INTENT 2023: Eudaimonia), Evidence of a Struggle (Evidence of a Struggle), Conny Olivetti (Never Give Up), Altus (Descender), Firnwald (Black Fortuna), Mitoma | Weldroid (MXW II).

Not sure what's wrong with the world these days. So my instagram account was cloned (several times) lately, some of you might have noticed. They copy all the images and the look and stuff, so you might think it's the original one (except for the name being slightly different). Then contacting ones contacts to lure them into some bitcoin scam or the like. Well. Be cautious if you are contacted in a way you don't expect to be. And always make sure, it really is the person you know that is contacting you. And even more so, if that person tries to sell you something. I am not selling anything but great music on my podcast and streams. So join in for some great stuff by Oscar Postma, S.A.W. (Hydragate), KelMen (Results), Joerg Dankert (Strange new worlds), Jarmodular (Sounds from the black machine), Syndromeda ft. Tom Coppens (Inside the Mental Hospital), Malcolm Galloway (Metazoa One).

Are you looking out for something special? Well, much to discover out there, especially with respect to fine electronic music. Here at my place, someone seems playing with the sun-valve. Turning it up and down for fun, it seems, as the next days are said to get hot again, after a short break. The better to have some music that does not heat you up a lot, at least not rhythm wise. So it's the best time to join me for great sounds by Wane of Summer (Ancient Cats of Egypt), WhoKnowsWhoCares (WhoKnowsWhoCares), Dirk Schlömer (Dubby Nocturne), Space Art (Personal Duty), S.A.W. (Hydragate), Michael Whalen (Walk In Beauty, Like The Night), Rick Sparks (Nightsong), Ambiente Solstice feat. Sean O'Bryan Smith & ELEON (Her Beautiful Imperfections), Ranzman and tha Electric Gamelan Dub & Chill Arkestra (Silk Road Sketches), Paul Ellis (Music For The Space Between Atoms), Eagle (Synth. Music) (Daft muzak for Radio stations Vol.2).

Oh, boy. When compiling tonight's edition, it was so warm and humid over at my place that it deserved nothing much moving. Well, turns out I have just the right music for such cases and here you go. Easy peasy. So, while I like being in my home office, I am definitely fond of visiting the buro these days, because of the wonderful people, of course, but also because of the AC. Hehe. So join me for some not stressing sounds with tracks by Carl Lord (Rest), Cognition Delay (Mostly Dreaming), 4T Thieves (The Shipping Forecast), Beck & Black (I Am The One Who Waits Here), Volker Lankow (Music For Forgotten Places), Allen Pitts (The Four Elements: Water (Volume 1)), Eguana (Cosmos Episode 15).
