Sequences Magazine

Our lineup in this issue includes the third volume of their benefit compilation of Various Artists From Ukraine, now 19 months since Russia invaded with no end in sight. Ambient space music, performed by David Luxton, was inspired by astronomy and celestial themes. His mission is to make transcendent music from the inner and outer worlds. Modular synthesis Ombre Cohen experimenting with semi-modular synths and an ever-growing Euro rack case. The latest addition to the Winter-Light’s artist roster, a new ambient drone project, is created by Dan Barrett, a.k.a. Aetherium Nebula. His primary focus is manifesting atmospheres inspired by the intersection of sadness, spirituality and far-future cyberpunk science fiction. With her love of Africa, Lis Addison uses electronics, voices, and nature sounds on the album, which are intended to blend equally into the music the way all beings work harmoniously in an ecosystem for its health and benefit, and our vintage track from Harvey Bainbridge surfs the ambience of deep space music, just a few of the varied genre of sounds you will hear.

Edit ***

We kick off this edition with Robert Schroeder’s new release, ‘Into The Light’, drifting away into dream worlds by letting yourself be beamed into other dimensions with space effects, mysterious spheres, deep strings and dreamy melodies.

Erik Wollo returns with an assemblage of acoustic guitars. Erik says everything you hear is acoustic, with no synths used on the new album ‘Cloud Of Strings’.

One musician who has graced our airwaves many times has been ELEON. His new album is a stunning atmospheric world of divine dimensions with guest musicians, including Grammy-nominated recording artist David Helpling.

Polypores returns for his second album on the Din label with ‘Multizonal Mind scramble’, a feast of modular textures and syncopated glitchy oscillators that swell and fade into strange sound worlds.

On the female side, Lucy Claire produces a fusion of classical cinematic and world influences intertwined with bittersweet piano motifs.

Now and again, we like to look back into the past, this time with Airsculpture’s first album released in 1995, ‘Impossible Geometries’. In those days, this three-piece band’s performances were 100% improvised, greatly influenced by Tangerine Dream of the 70s.

It’s always a pleasure to introduce musicians in Mick’s domain of Australia, which includes a relatively new composer on the scene, Matt Goodluck, who has a long history in the music business and is also a member of Australia’s largest Pink Floyd tribute act, Echoes of Pink Floyd as lead vocalist and tours nationwide. Cinematic ambient composer Paul Headon, a.k.a DREAMSCAPIST new album ‘Mind Space’, takes us further into what may be the unknown, meditation/atmospheric/ambient/music for sleep.

As supporters of the female side of electronic music, not one but five grace our airwaves. Natasha Barrett’s artistic research project provokes a new awareness of our outdoor sound environment. Kirsten Agresta Copley is an international award-winning harpist. Hania Rani builds on earlier successes unfolding at an exquisite pace. Stefana Fratila ongoing creative research culminated in Sononaut, eight open-source VST plug-ins created for digital audio workstations, and welcome to the world of INSANIA (a.k.a Ryo Pike).

Electric Orange is the opening band delivering trippy kraut rock.

Hope you all enjoyed the last edition, delving into the music of Bas Broekhuis Detlef Keller & Mario Schonwalder, more specials are to come later in the year. Now it’s back to our usual look at new releases from those musicians we featured over the years, including the epic journey-style album called ‘Oracle’ from David Wright & vocalist Carys, the calm & relaxing atmosphere in an ambient universe from Steen Chorchendorff Jorgensen. Experimenting with synthesised sounds, Rayspark Industries takes us to unknown territories. Focusing on the universe’s beauty, wonder & complexities brings us Infinite Universe by fellow Aussie Jim Ottaway. Romanian artist Kamarius, a world fusion of spiritual, meditative & cinematic sounds. The many styles of electronic music from the prolific UK musicians Ivan Black are just a few we are featuring with their new albums.

We must say compiling this podcast has been one of our more laid-back editions for some time. We begin with Micado’s first album with nine tracks, all in coproduction with other electronic music composing artists, we selected two featuring Transit-NL & Midi Bitch.

Edit ***

It’s great to see the feedback from some of you who enjoyed the Modular/vintage edition. Now, back to our usual look at recent new releases, with another round of superlative sounds from musicians based around the globe. Seven new names added to the list include, Under Water Sleep Orchestra, a nightmarish trip within blurry worlds and a nostalgic journey of dark ambient with a cinematic edge. The duo A Winged Victory Of A Dividing Pair music built on their foundations in ambient and neoclassical. Dramón brings experimental climatic and noisy music inspired by ambient and electronics as the basis of his creation. Incorporating gentle guitar synth flute and percussion, dappled with nature sounds, comes from Carlos Denger.

Known for his performances using lap steel, guitarist Frank Schultz takes a drifting journey into a cavernous and droning ambience. The unusual setup by Edouard Ferlet of two pianos, one of which is mechanical, echoes the work of Philip Glass or Nils Frahm. To stir emotions through well-orchestrated musical choices is William St Hugh.

We kick off the opening track from ComputerChemist new Berlin School-style album ’Mysterious Cave of Eternal Theta’.

Edit ***

In this 4-hour special, we focus on musicians who have used new modular & vintage synths in their studios, with tracks taken from the 80s to the present day, which have been featured on various editions of our previous podcasts.

Modular synths, once considered virtually obsolete, have been one of the most surprising growth areas in music technology over the last decade. The main appeal to musicians is obvious: their unrivalled flexibility makes them the most versatile form of an imaginable synthesiser. Customisation is one of the main appeals of modular synthesisers, with small-format and relatively cheap Eurorack is one exciting way that sound connoisseurs are building upon the classic sound technologies of the past while taking advantage of new alternative modules that are jam-packed with never-seen-before features.

Edit ***

With many recent releases, this edition gives us more ambient electro-acoustic & downtempo music, including two pioneering musicians from the 80s to the present day. Steve Roach with the 20th anniversary of ‘Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces, where the label Projekt collects all four parts into a single release — close to five hours of electronic ambient music, which allows the listener blissful hours on the high frontier between deep listening music and the spirituality of pure sound. The musical alchemist Robert Scott Thompson combines his mastery of the electroacoustic, acousmatic, contemporary instrumental and avant-garde genres on Placid.

Our modular track comes from the album Myuthafoo, based on creative sequencing processes that playfully unravel Caterina Barbieri's deep-rooted interest in time, space, memory and emotion.

Following lengthy negotiations upon the release of her 2022 debut, Nova Cat (yes, a cat), reluctantly agreed to Projekt Sam Rosenthal’s addition of ambient music to two tracks on her sophomore effort, Stellar purr.

Edit***

We welcome eight new acts to Sequences, including Christine Ott’s two bands, The Cry, an improvising trio with multiple textures & the duo Snowdrops, a unique combination of contemporary classical, jazz, electronic music and film score. With her distinctive voice Amaya (Maud Of Moth), a Madrid born residing in Edinburgh, dances all over her deftly woven compositions. Not using a name but numbers 58918012 score a pretty dark/melancholic/sad /cinematic and even a bit depressive sound—another stark & desolate release, ‘Hinterland’ from Electronic Death Black Dogs. Norwegian cinematic ambient electronic project LIGHTS A.M has everything from uplifting energy, playful sequences and experimental sound design to fearful moods and melancholic melodies. The collaborative project, From Overseas & City Of Dawn, brought together by a love of melodic guitar-based ambient music and tape loops, wrapping up with Slow Beethoven performed in the empty seven-storey steel water tank’s sonic environment, an extremely resonant space, which this quartet slows the movement drastically, usually seven minutes long to become a unique 44-minute work with Tank’s swirling reverb sustains sounds for up to 40 seconds, “This collaboration has created something that is still Beethoven, yet otherworldly”.

Edit***

Only one edition this month due to moving my daughter & son-in-law out of my place into their newly renovated home.

Meanwhile, I present our first Sequences audio tape from 1992 remastered was born from the demise of the UK Electronic music audio magazine, Inkeys and the short-lived Syntrax. Our debut edition, released in 1992, was the only one mastered on audio cassette, which, unfortunately, is now unplayable. This is a remastered version without the banter between tracks (we couldn’t extract) using the original CDs & cassettes (which, luckily, were okay). There were no downloads in those days. All promos came by post & visiting various festivals; the tracks on the original tape were cut short, but now they are complete except for those that needed an edit due to their length.

I was a complete novice starting this project with no experience. I have to blame my good friend for many years Clive Littlewood (Electronical Dreams), for starting this audio magazine. Armed with only a cassette recorder, no software, and no mixer, adding banter between tracks was a very tedious stop-start affair. Looking back now, it was very primitive, and I’m somewhat embarrassed listening to the original tape now. I purchased a DAT recorder & a simple mixer for later editions onwards, which made it easier to compile the tapes. Mick (theEd)
