landscape podcast 10 [traces of crimson]
Ambient/Post-Rock/Rock/Noise | 87:11

Traces of [King] Crimson & a "shout out" to the heir apparent of the Fripp guitar sound: Markus Reuter (Fripp, Reuter & King Crimson each make 3 appearances, herein). This also serves as a nod to the Reuter, Motzer & Grohowski album 'Bleed' (see upcoming podcast nine for an additional track), with some of my favorite guitarists; Dirk Serries, Andy Summers, & David Torn, blended into the mix.

Pairs well with 2023's The Mars Transmission & 2015's Fripp_2015.

g l i g | Mixed Genre/Ambient/Experimental/Noise | 83:22

A spur-of-the-moment (January) mixed-genre podcast inspired by the two 12k tracks (4 & 9) & expanded from there. Fun in the construction phase as we reached back to favorites such as the Passengers & Budd/Foxx (to ensure proper project aural stability).
Each podcast undergoes a “finishing process”, where it is listened to, tweaked & tracks are substituted & deleted/added; final 2 tracks added were #s 10 (RETE) & 12 (Asha Patera).

01 [00:00] Passengers – Theme from the Swan
02 [02:44] Jakob Bro, Arve Henriksen & Jorge Rossy – Music for Black Pigeons
03 [09:54] Harry Traksmann, Leho Karin & Marrit Gerretz – Tüür Lichttürme (edit)
04 [18:19] Illuha – Okurirei
05 [28:46] Dirk Serries – Seclude
06 [36:09] Ben Monder – Dinosaur Skies
07 [42:50] John Foxx & Harold Budd – Implicit

09 [52:05] Zimoun – ModularGuitarFields 1
10 [62:24] RETE – Tape Loop 1

elements_retrospect | Jazz / Ether-Jazz/ Noise | 84:08

As if I needed an excuse . . . here is, praise the Muse, a "lost" edition of the series.

While sorting through some physical CD-Rs in the music vault during 2024's Christmas break, I came across this unfinished project made years ago with Roxio Music Editor. The roughed out version wasn't bad . . . it just needed a little polish and an upgrade.

I imported the mp3 tracks into Audacity, added the necessary enhancements (audio leveling, sequence, segueing, edits, etc.) and grabbed two new tracks that fit the overall "feel" of the project/series (Hely + Ambarchi, Berthling & Werliin) to round off the set.

d e p t h | Ambient / Drift / Drone | 83:49

A tribute of sorts to the depth of Steve Roach’s sound-shifting catalog. I dug deep into my collection of Steve’s albums for some deep cuts & deeper drones, then blended the Jarguna/Russell track to set up the tempo for the last 1/3 of the podcast.

Not being one to listen to entire albums from any band or solo artist, I make mixes to satisfy my Jones for various ambient, experimental, et al sounds.

Hand-crafted, with seamless segues, late October 2024 — enjoy!

02 [03:35] – Nature of Things (Dynamic Stillness)
03 [11:45] – Phosphene View (Painting in the Dark)
