PerSONIKal

We have a new release... and it's personal. 

The title of the release is called "PerSONIKal" and features 7 original tracks. Each track is a musical interpretation of the said author. So, for example, I as Bluejooz would simply write a track I defines me as Bluejooz.
The concept is simple and the results are stunning.
It is free to download / stream from two sources.

Bandcamp.com (features just the seven tracks)
Archive.org (features an extra special blended mix of all seven tracks... only available from here)

And if that is not enough for you... then why not just listen to them hear!



The stream is only 128kbits. PLEASE visit the links and download the album. The bitrates are better! In fact, they are the highest we could get them without putting the fear into the neighbours dogs.
Enjoy!

syndae - episode 100 volume 1

Two years! I have never imagined to be on your ears for about 100 times, once each week, to get tracks of my beloved and versatile genre of electronic music on the internet highways. So, here comes a big thank you for all the nice and positive feedback, and of course all the criticism and advices, and surely for your support as listener or label owner or musician. I am really happy about how my humble podcast turned out to become a well received weekly event on many, many audio players. So this is episode 100, celebrating two years of shows. And therefore, it's an XXXXL episode, split into four volumes, each 30 minutes, for four following days. Enjoy some of the great artists who accompanied the podcast over the years, of course with some new and unreleased tracks in between. Volume One featuring Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder, Erik Seifert, Johannes Schmölling, Stefan Erbe, Synth.nl, and Uwe Reckzeh.

New Release: The Eight-Thousanders

The Eight-Thousanders is the collective term for mountains that are 8000 metres and above. They are the worlds highest mountains.
For this extraordinary collaboration, newcomer "The Great Schizm" came up with the idea that we all picked from a selection and work on a track designed with that mountain in mind. 
The outcome is staggering.
Spanning over 2 discs, each at 45 minutes long, the tracks give the listener a unique insight into the artists interpretation of their chosen Eight-Thousander.
Disc 1 contains 7 stunning ambient tracks from The Great Schizm (K2, Nanga Parbat), usr/sbin (Cho Oyu, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri), eigensphere (Hidden Peak aka Gasherbrum I) and Pete Farn (Broad Peak).

Disc 2 takes you to the next level. A more adventurous aural expedition!
Featuring tracks from Bluejooz (Everest and Malaku), eigensphere (Gasherbrum II), Transmission 71 (Lhotse), Schlaflabor (Xixabangma), Pete Farn (Manaslu) and Somnarium (Kangchenjunga)

Both releases are free to download and to stream and are released under the Creative Commons License. (3.0)

syndae - episode 91

We draw a bow from poetic music to hynpotic sequencing tonight. Teasing your mind with episode 91, starting off softly and then going wild. A fascinating acoustic trip into the worlds of Erik Wøllo, Planet Boelex, Xenoton, Ametsub, and Daniel & Booth.

Sonic Strata 2 is now available!

It gives me great pleasureto announce our latest release.

A sequel to one of our most popular releases...

Sonic Strata 2

Featuring only 3 tracks but all 20 minutes each.

How was this concept developed?

Three teams were chosen:

Team A consisted of Tange, Annode, eigensphere and Modulator ESP and created Part 1.

Team B were usr/sbin, Gregg Plummer, Sonoprint and Somnarium and produced Part 2.

Team C brought together Steve Gane, Altus, Litmus0001 and Jujigen and made Part 3.

The first layer of each track were created by the first person in the team and then emailed to the next member were they then put their layer down and again it was passed to the next in line and so on.

And the end result?

Three beautiful ambient pieces combining all artists from each team.

This is truely an excellent release and is highly recommended.

Concept: Somnarium.

Artwork: Bluejooz

Enjoy,

After all, it is free...
