It was Brian Eno who once described ambient music as ‘music that is as ignorable as it is interesting’ – but it may very well be Kenneth Kirschner taking this concept to the extreme.
“Time, space, repetition, pattern, the very very big and the very very small. There’s an effort to be a part of the continuum and to recognize it, to try to remove the self if possible in a recognition of the bigger things. Also, neither of us is afraid of the dark.”
The DreamScenes selection for August: perfect for a lazy warm summer night.
Or even for not-so-very-warm summer nights.
Another musical journey guided by Pleq & Giulio Aldinucci (Poland and Italy) – Umchunga (Tehran) – Dronny Darko & ProtoU from Kiev, and Matthew Atkins from the United Kingdom.
Etheric Imprints by Steve Roach – Echotides from Erik Wøllo – a new Companion to an older album by S.E.T.I. – and a Monolith tribute to 2001 by As Lonely As Dave Bowman
Michael Fahres presents a radically different vision on ‘environmental music’;
Miguel Isaza manages to find a balance between the temporal and the eternal;
Naviar Records demonstrate that a community can generate strong (or even stronger) results;
and: the introducton of a new series exploring the lively Polish experimental electronic underground scene.
Mike Cooper’s Fratello Mare is a journey you’d better not begin unprepared: it’s exploring the beauty of the Pacific yet somehow also resembles Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas…!?
Furthermore: some music to calm down to: guitar pedal soundscapes by J. Butler, and two short neo-classical EP’s by Tambour and Lunae Lumen
A walk through the forest with Dag Rosenqvist, a visit to Tiny Vipers’ bedroom, manipulated Amazon amphibian sounds by Artificial Memory Trace, and finally dream memories from Ken Camden
…. slowly evolving to a state of inert uniformity …. retracing information that was lost from the message … searching for the uniformity in what seems to be randomly disordered …
