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)

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...

A little aftermath to E-Day tonight, music by people who were to see live on stage or to be met in the halls.

syndae - episode 88 - ambient and avant-garde

Did you like practicing science at school? Luckily some musicians do enjoy experimenting with sounds and scapes to our delight. Tonight's playlist goes on a rather experimental, avant-garde, and ambient trip, and I hope you will take a ride to the outer regions of electronic music. Episode 88 presents relaxing and thrilling tracks by Alio Die & Parallel Worlds, Ametsub, Gastón Arévalo, Michael Hoffmann, The o8o8 Project, and UtopiaXO.
