The Main Sequence

Part of this week's show paid tribute to some artists; Matt Howarth, who passed this week, and Paul Ellis, who celebrated a birthday. Add some new music from Pabellon Sintetico and lots of other great music and I think you've got yourself a great show. Enjoy!

After almost a month, it was good to be back on the air. There was a certain musical consonance to this week's playlist. All the tracks were in the key of Dmaj, and so there is a way that they hang together in a certain sonic space. I hope you enjoy it.

After several weeks away due to some traveling I was all set to broadcast this past Saturday. Unfortunately, technical audio issues prevented me from broadcasting. So I decided to put the show together off the air and upload it as a podcast, which you have here.

A lot of the focus is on new albums, with several tracks from each. So much great music to hear. Enjoy!

(And hopefully I will be back to normal broadcasting this week....)

During the month of March I focus on long-form pieces in a format I call “The Long March”. This week’s show will take us in the other direction…

The focus of this week’s show will be on tracks that are less than 10 minutes in a feature that I’m calling “The Short Run”. That will mean quite a few more artists and tracks in this show compared to other episodes. Tune in to hear it all!

I had a theme for this week’s show already in the works when Cyclical Dreams released the new album by one of my favorites, Michael Brückner. Upon listening to it, I felt I wanted to feature it but, even more, I felt it would be worth highlighting Michael’s music in general.

So this week’s show will consist entirely of music created by Michael Brückner. Tune in to hear why he’s one of my favorite artists.

I was watching a live YouTube performance by Bill Astro Music this week that I found inspiring. I asked him if he'd send me a recording of the track to share on the show, which he graciously did. That made me dig in the archives for more recordings of live on-air performances, and so that is the focus of this week's episode of The Main Sequence.

Tune in for some extended pieces from Bill Astro Music, State Azure, Martin Stürtzer, and Caught In Joy.

August 08 2026 - We are living in heady times as far as the amount of new music being created, performed, and released. While I just did a “NEW MUSIC” show last week, I just acquired (thanks in no small part to Bandcamp Friday) quite a few brand new nuggets of joy. And so I will share them with you.

Tune in for new music from Arjen Schat, Thaneco & Romerium, Robert Rich, Michael Brückner, and more.

August 01, 2026 - While the show will not consist entirely of new releases, I’m going to call it a new release show just to put a shine on it. Of course, if you haven’t heard any of the music I’ll be playing then it’s all new to you anyway.

The bottom line is to be prepared to be entranced by music that will be fresh to your ears.

This week I added several new artists to the Main Sequence library, including renowned dungeon synth artist, Jim Kirkwood. So we introduced some new music. Then there were some tributes to Klaus Schulze and plenty of other great music.

Threw this one together pretty quickly, but I'm happy with the combination of tracks that emerged. The time spanned in the show goes from 1987 until just this week. There continues to be an inspiring body of this music being produced. Listen and enjoy.
