Sequences Magazine

Welcome to the new edition, hope all of you are enjoying the Easter break, especially our friends and family in the UK with some warm unseasonal weather there. Here in the Sunshine Coast, it’s very wet & warm. Quite a lineup we have that spans many aspects of electronic music, it certainly opens up a varied sound world. Mihail Doman’s second album, ‘Neptune’, delving deeper into contemporary orchestral music, with a minimalist string score, thoughtful, dark, experimental with light flourishes from John 3:16. Heart-centered sonic meditation from veteran transformative, shamanic practitioners Byron Metcalf and Mark Seelig. Elizabeth Joan Kelly, a New Orleans-based experimental, ambient/industrial, electronic composer, audio tone poems that explore darkness and light by Fabio Keiner, John Novak addictive ambiances, interspersed with addictive melodies., breathtaking, rich, complex and beautiful structured soundscapes of Tom Eaton. Michael Neil’s excursions into Berlin School retro music under the guise of Maria Warner and the list goes on with twenty-one musicians showing us their Imaginative, creative side, composing music that has no boundaries & limitless in the world of sound.

Blast from the past ‘Last Train To Bayreuth’ comes from Spyra’s 3CD set, ‘Elevator To Heaven’, a personal interpretation of the ‘Bayreuth Return’, a theme dedicated to Klaus Schulze.

Edit ***

Shocked & sad to hear recently the passing of two fine musicians, Charles Thaxton & Gert Van Santen, who have graced our genre in electronic music over the years. Charles known as Char-el, was a California based synthesist and keyboardist/composer, performing in many bands and solo concerts for over 40 years, mixing in the progressive rock/symphonic new age territory.

Gert Van Santen was a member of Wave World, a Dutch/Canadian multimedia project attracting quite a lot of attention for its fascinating music and enchanting shows. During live performances, their impressive music was blended with computer-generated graphics of a virtual world, projected on huge screens, both these musicians were very likable, creative human beings, with the legacy of their music, which will live on in our hearts & minds.

You will hear on this edition, Andy Pickford’s new release Biosphere, which has a very filmic feel, full of strong rhythms, sequences, melodies, and symphonic themes. Syngate presents Colin Rayment’s new album FRB, stands for Fast Radio Bursts, only recently discovered very unusual repeating signals from distant galaxies.. London based electronic act Echaskech, a unique and compelling amalgamation of sound.

Tangram, music & name obviously points a finger in the Tangerine Dream direction. Ambient soundscapes from Massergy, are created entirely outdoors within a nature preserve, creating colorful and melodic arrangements, featuring deep bass tones, swirling textures and expressive improvisation.

Two collaborations with Michael Bruckner on ’Polar Vortex’ with Mathias Grassow a master of dark ambient & drone music & Volker Lankow, Berlin based percussionist on ‘Monsoon Offerings’. Vidna Obmana’s re-release of Landscape In Obscurity, a long exploratory driftscape, integrating spacious and atmospheric performances on flute and saxophone. The slow and drifting peaceful ambient soundscapes from Bing Satellites, with many more engaging sounds to create an atmosphere beyond the norm of accessible popular music.

Edit ***

It seems that our podcast no 145 was extremely popular with our listeners going by the stats. Funny enough it was one of Micks shows he enjoyed compiling.

Hopefully you will be again enthusiastic to hear what we bring to our latest edition, which brings such a diverse energy of electronic sounds.

It was a privilege to bring Clifford Whites music to Sequences, with tracks from his 4 albums in the Synergy series, melodic upbeat & relaxing tunes. Ambient side filled with such dynamics & spacial depth from Astovia, Neostra & going deeper into the dark side with NIMH. Something a little bit different from Craig Padilla with his long term friend Marvin Allen, melodic and rhythmic, surreal and drifting, the result, a timeless adventure through illuminating guitar tonalities and majestic synthesizer vistas. If it’s modular sequencers you want, you are going to enjoy Adrian Beasley’s album Machine Code & d’Voxx arranged Berlin School inspired sequence lines, wrapped up in a gorgeous blanket of modern ambience on the Din label. Lighter sequencing from the prolific composer SpiralDreams. On the ethereal vocals & the symphonic side, check out Xyrion, Neostra & James Asher. The creative signature sound of Saul Stokes. NNYZ? gives us highly detailed textures with glitchy beats & field recordings. On the experimental side the amusing & eclectic Bloop & Quack. Some lovely echoing slightly off-in-the-distance piano excursions played by Whalt Thisney & Tedd Arnolds unique sonic style, edging on the progressive side.

Blast from the past comes from the 1974 release Zygoat, composed by American Burt Alcantara with the main musicians on this album Brian Hodgson, Dudley Simpson & John Lewis, performing on ARP and R.S.E synthesizers. Brian & Dudley are known for their background music for various sci fi shows like Doctor Who and Blake's 7, Lewis was a member of the band M that had the huge worldwide hit, Pop Muzik.

Mac Of BIOnighT and a few other musicians have recently set up an alliance of EM musicians called EM Force, please check the updated page for new members: http://www.macvibes.com/EMFORCE.htm

This project is basically based on the concept divided we fall, united we win (well not so melodramatically, perhaps, but that's the general idea).

We are still in the very early stages and starting small in scope, but we have big plans for the future and hopefully this might grow to be something great in this musical area.

Edit***

G’day possums, your friendly team have done it again, 3 hours of amazing music to enlighten your day, including a host of first timers to Sequences. Jean Marc Lederman, Eiland, & Zer0, from Belgian Neu Musik, Anaamaly, Michael Kollwitz, Ken Verheecke, & Scott Reich, new age, contemporary instrumental, world, ambient and more sounds, from US based, RS Promotions. Bluetech the master of analogue and modular sound synthesis and DSP audio manipulation, with one track in cooperation with, In The Branches, exploring various styles in his music. Delving into the more progressive side with an oriental twist, Lastelle, aided by guest musicians. Claus Jahn melodic sounds, crossing the boundaries of sequential/ambient and the short lived band, Emeralds, with complex analog/digital hybrid sounds.

Ambient Nation 5 is a unique look into what the Belgium electronic musicians of today have to offer, compiling 28 tracks by renowned artists & amateur knob twisters. Contains only exclusive material, either written for this compilation or specially edited, remixed or live.

On a sad note, Syngate Records, releases ’Transmissions’ by Jorge Bialinska, a.k.a., Ebia, his last composition before he passed away on the 17th January 2018, the consequences of an autoimmune disease.

Okay! I know a lot of you purists in our genre of EM don’t like vocals, but the ethereal whispers with other worldly soundscapes from Pauline Cassidy, draws the listeners into a fantastic world of fairy tale like dreams. Finally after 25 years the new Peru album, coincidentally called ‘The Return’. That brings us to our blast from the past, choosing one of their tracks ‘Valley’ included on the 1989 Klem Compilation CD.

Taking us into the creative mind of Michael Neil, the neo classical, ’Six Pieces Of Orchestra’ and Nord’s Christmas collection, don’t worry it’s not cover versions, but mainly tracks taken from his catalogue of albums with some unreleased music as well.

Bernd Kistenmacher is a German producer and musician specialising in Kosmische soundscapes. He began his career in the 80's with a collection of long epic electronic excursions, taking inspiration from Klaus Schulze and Berlin School. His musical releases in later years delivered more complex melodies creating expansive sequencing with symphonic & classical overtones.

Over the next three hours we’ take you into the sound world of Bernd Kistenmacher, tracks taken from a majority of his musical output from the 80’s to his latest release “Disintegration”, in 2017.

Edit ***

it’s time to say goodbye to another year with our final edition of 2018, which has seen some outstanding music again, from those established musicians and to the many new names added throughout the year on Sequences.

Most of the collection of tracks we have for you today are more in the sequential, melodic side of EM, not forgetting the ambient side, which includes new albums by, Steve Roach, Max Corbacho & Wil Bolton.

Over the holiday period we are releasing another special edition, focusing on one of the finest musicians in the genres we promote in electronic music, with a career spanning over 30 years. No! I’m not going to reveal his name, we will keep you guessing.

From all the team Mick, Mike, Andy & Karan, we thank the musicians & labels for their support throughout the year and to our world wide listeners too. Have a Happy Christmas and bright & prosperous New Year.
