Edit ***

We’ve decided to extend this edition to 4 hours to accommodate a stack of new releases that have steadily come in over the last few weeks. I know this is a long session but you can always take time for a break, have a drink, or whatever you fancy.

Before we get the show on the road, here are newcomers to Sequences, 4th Eden from Wales composing melodic, spacial tuneful sounds. If Massive Attack or similar got down in the mud and rolled around a bit they might end up sounding like Rites of Fall. A Kosmiche conjuration exploring spectral echoes, pulses, and harmonic figures phasing through time from Ogre. Listening Center, in growth dream-like melodies and electronic sound palettes. Michael Whalen a two-time Emmy award winner, a tour-de-force of electronic music which seamlessly blends his natural gift for melody with fresh textures and percolating rhythm, Rayspark Industries collaboration with Urban Meditation under the name of Apollo North, a collection of “experimental” ambient electronica, leaning towards the minimalist side & lastly the soothing and calming music of Liquid Mind.

No favoritism intended with the opening exclusive track “Kinematic Star” by Volt, featured on E-Scape 2020, unfortunately, one of the many music festivals canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Leila Abdul-Rauf enters a world all of her own weaving brass, piano, and various other textures, into filmic soundscapes. Russian band Aesthesys, mixing progressive rock with touches of neo-classical sounds. Post-Folk space from the duo NIMH & Rapoon, on the Winterlight label.

The vintage track comes from Popol Vuh’s 1971 ‘In Den Garten of Pharaos’, is one of their first two albums at that time to feature the new sounds of the Moog synthesizer, before abandoning synths for organic instrumentation & world music.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all safe & well with the current pandemic, signs in some countries' normality is slowly opening up again.

Introducing the feminine side, Japanese composer Ryo Utasato with a rich body of work that runs the gamut from electronica to ambient to world music to rock and beyond. Under her own name, Caroline McKenzie uses piano, synthesizers & her voice to make rather calming music, harboring from the worries of the day. Polly Fae’s new release’ Metamorphosis’ on Projeckt, an album laced with sensual vocals upon jagged, moody and somber electronics, balancing against an instrumental atmosphere of eerie calm. New York-born Berlin-based musician and filmmaker JJ Weihl, implementing drum machines vocoder, sound collage, theremin, and electric guitar, creating a small laboratory both in the studio and on stage.

Various artists on Portals, featuring 13 tracks of Berlin school inspired electronic music from legends of synthesis like Steve Roach, Ian Boddy, and Steve Moore.

With his second Galactic Underground album, Venja embarks on an epic journey through space and time, with guest musicians Erik Wollo & Michael Stearns. Darker shades of ambiance and classic electronic sounds from FluXus, with Berlin-style sequencing, Steve Lind producing mostly Ambiental, cinematic electronic pop/rock, more challenging music from improvising musician & visual artist Nick Janczak & Anantakara blending ambient electronica, ethnic, neo-classical and jazz. Throughout this edition, you will hear more new sounds from those appearing with us over the years.

We welcome you to another special edition, the music of David Parsons, an influential musician who has been so important in our genre of electronic sounds.

I came to hear David’s music in 1983, the album ‘Sounds of the Mothership’ by accident when visiting a classical record shop, from that day I have a big fan of his unique blend of Western technology & Eastern music.

David continues to live in New Zealand (or Middle Earth, as he has taken to calling it since his homeland became the cinematic home for The Lord Of The Rings trilogy), and still writes music for television and film. With his experiences traveling through Central Asia over the years have given him an insight into his own music. The darkness that has remained a defining element of his sound today, he says, “not darkness, really. It's more like a sense of awe. You go to the Himalayas and you hear the rumble of the ice and the low long horns of the monastery. Tibetan Buddhism has that darkness: it’s not evil, it’s the awesome power of the universe, the sound of Om. That’s the darkness I’m drawn to.”

We have a collection of tracks from most of David’s output from the last four decades, with his latest album released on gterma ‘Chakra’, which carves and weaves its way through the mysteries surrounding of the seven Chakras, starting at the crown and working towards the foundation.

I’ve got to say this is one of our more melodic, sequential & tuneful edition, but not without a few more ambient tracks of ancient-modern sacred space music, and experimental complex sonic tapestries verging on the dark side.

We like to welcome the musicians featured for the first time on Sequences. Icing Wolf with her great mix of 80's EM, ranging from Jarre to TD, another melodic release from Liam Boyle, on Waveforms. From Tucson Arizona, guitarist and composer John Gregorius. creates his own wonderful blend of guitar-based music. Shinjuku Thief, classic Gothic, Industrial, Electronic, Ambient masterpiece, paying homage to German expressionist film of the 1920′s and supernatural horror from the 1500′s. Lively and spirited new work from Masa Takumi incorporating ancient instruments like the shamisen and the koto, a stringed instrument that is the national instrument of his native Japan, with modern sounds. Off-key melodies and gentle analog from the days of old by Letters Of Mouse, rounding up with João Vairinhos who has become one of the dearest names in the Portuguese underground scene of dark intense ambient & drone music.

The Vintage track comes from Robert Schroeder's first recording, Harmonic Decadence rejected in 1978, then went back into the studio where the well-known debut album, Harmonic Ascendant was created. Harmonic Decadence was finally released in 2017, as part of the D.M.O. series on Spheric Music.

It was sad to hear that the co-founder of Kraftwerk, Florian Schneider passed away recently with cancer. Florian was multi-talented and played the synthesizer, vocoder, flute, and sax & is credited with the band taking electronic music mainstream.

As you know its been a trying time over the last couple of months for all of us as we fight, “the virus”, especially for our friends & listeners in Europe, UK & the USA who have lost many love ones. Here in Australia, we’ve been fortunate to have kept the death rate very low. With most of us in lockdown, we hope our latest edition will for the next 3 hours give you some relief away from this devastating disease spreading throughout the globe.

From all the team Mick, Mike, Andy & Karen, stay safe & healthy.

As we like to feature the female side of electronic music, we are happy to say the following are featured for the first time on Sequences. Carolina Eyck is known as one of the best theremin soloists worldwide. Polish multi-instrumentalist Olga Wojciechowska, known as Strië, a multi-instrumentalist whose work drifts between modern classical experimental music. Klairzaki is a one-woman-band composer, passionate of synths and drums since her childhood & finally a collection of sound meditations with flute harp electronics and pedal effects by Sarah Jane Hargis.

The debut from the male musicians includes Portugal based FØREST FIRES, the new creative project of Pedro Barceló, the subject of climate and change and its consequences, through minimal and dense ambient electronica. Another Portuguese music project, Mikroben Krieg displays gritty undertones & experimental breakbeats with spacey melodies. Kyiv-based electronic/experimental music producer Stonefromthesky, & German Volker Rapp the founder member of the German Electronic website Schallwende, his own music is influenced by Kraftwerk Jarre & Vangelis...
