Podcasts about alio die

  This is straightforward ambient mix. Nothing fancy, just good music. The one unifying trait of this mix, other than all the tracks being awesome, is that everything is from this year. I started the set with a track from Alio Die. Every so often I need a reminder why I love an artist I've been listening to forever. And stumbling upon this new album definitely brought back why Alio Die is one of my all-time favs. LINKS TO ALL THER MUSIC USED IN THIS MIX: https://aliodie.bandcamp.com/album/the-inner-vaults https://davidtagg.bandcamp.com/album/the-wind-kept-land https://metronrecords.bandcamp.com/album/gaiaphilia https://stateazure.bandcamp.com/album/stillness https://archivesdubmusic.bandcamp.com/album/monochrome https://innesti.bandcamp.com/album/fragility-and-circumstance https://altusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/gossamer-wings-of-illusion https://celer.bandcamp.com/album/gems-iv https://variantsonics.bandcamp.com/album/sequential-sleep-series-collection Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Arborescence & Alio Die;  - Kindling Leaves (The Inner Vaults 2025) 08:05   David Tagg - The King of Songs performs the prelude to Cruciform Heart (The Wind Kept Land 2025) 13:15   Yumiko Morioka & Takashi Kokubo - O-KA-GU-RA (Gaiaphilia 2025) 15:35   State Azure - Stillness (Stillness 2025) 22:55   SVLBRD - Indigo Light (Monochrome 2025) 28:35   Innesti - Crosscurrents Through Nuances (Fragility and Circumstance 2025) 34:16   Loneward - Temporal Dunes (Gossamer Wings of Illusion 2025) 41:41   Celer - IV.VI (Gems IV 2025) 47:55   variant - sequential sleep(unreleased modular-scape) (sequential sleep series collection 2025) 60:00   end

  I could kick myself for not planning for this eclipse. I should have booked a room in Austin, TX two years ago. But I did not, so I'll be here in Wisconsin with a still pretty good 90% eclipse and a sketchy forecast. No matter where you are for the eclipse, you'll need a good soundtrack. As with past celestial events you can count on Low Light Mixes to provide an accompaniment for your viewing. The titles tell the story of the eclipse, starting with "Ordinary Moon" and "Edge of Darkness" then as the moon obscures more the sun the are "Gathering Shadows" as "Darkness Descends"  Then as we "Step Into The Void" of the "Solar Eclipse" and the "Umbra" we are "In The Perfect Darkness" while "The Moon Remained Silent." Next we see "Light Among The Shadows" with the "Light Returning" and the "Return of the Sun." I hope you all have good weather and a view. Enjoy the show and the mix.

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”.

Our team member Andy is on the road to recovery after suffering a stroke and spending 91 days in the hospital, hopefully, we will be getting our website updated with the bio's for no 207 to our latest 2014. A few more new names appeared for the first time. Brooklyn-based composer and producer Rachika Nayar finds the protean guitarist and producer expanding on the ghostly netherworlds of her debut with vivid fluorescent cinematic maximalism. Two new releases of dark experimental ambient drone music on the Russian label Zhelezobeton. Using analogue synths & field recordings, Field Lines Cartographer often creates dark, occasionally bucolic soundscapes. Joseph L Young's fifty-five-minute excursion into a sonic landscape shifts under the listener's feet with twists and turns. Cass Anawaty & Brian Fechino presents a collection of four pieces that range from pensive and reflective ambient meditations using mainly guitars, & Psycho & Plastic's latest single lingers in the memory once it's passed, the merging of delicateness found within the piano and the mournful tones elevate the single in a delightfully unexpected way. After a friend recently mentioned some news about the ‘Future World Orchestra' we came across in our collection the 2000 CD ‘Hidden Files' on the Groove label, a melodic uptempo album touching on instrumental prog rock, making it the opening tracks under our ‘Blast from the Past'. 02.27 Future World Orchestra ‘Running Water' (album The Hidden Files) www.groove.nl 06.51 Future World Orchestra ‘Devining-Rod' 10.25 Amber Route feat: Walter Holland ‘Asteroid Joiroid '82 (album Live at Rockwell International 1982)*** https://walterholland.bandcamp.com 19.19 Rachika Nayar ‘Heaven Come Crashing: feat Marie bc' (album Heaven Come Crashing) https://rachika.bandcamp.com 24.26 Jack Hertz ‘Dreamquencer' (album Baroque Astronaut) https://auralfilms.bandcamp.com 31.55 Jack Hertz ‘Ecstasy of Saint Teresa' 39.00 Steve Roach ‘Currents of Compassion' (album What Remains) *** https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com 49.00 Thy Veils ‘Lina Luna' (album Next Forever) https://thyveils.bandcamp.com 52.57 Howard Givens & Madhavi Devi ‘The Celestial Expanse' (album The Celestial Expanse) www.spottedpeccary.com 01.03.44 Jim Ottaway ‘One True Vision' (album Somewhere In Between) https://jimottaway.bandcamp.com 01.09.26 Jim Ottaway 'Sacred Ground' 01.15.14 Thaneco & Dask ‘The Explorer In The Garden' (album Stages) www.syngate.nl 01.23.42 Thaneco & Dask ‘The Apprentice in the Wellspring' 01.31.34 Field Line Cartographer ‘Purple Dusk Over Water' (album Dreamtides) https://fieldlinescartographer-cis.bandcamp.com 01.40.30 Petrograd Drone Gathering / Moscow Noise Manufactory ‘Live' (album PoluDrëma 26.11.2021) *** https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com 01.49.52 Bu.d.d.A. ‘The Mourning of the Midnight Diner Fading' (album Diese Anmut von Trophäen) https://zhelezobeton.bandcamp.com 02.00.07 Alio Die & Dirk Serries ‘The Sun From The Point of View Of The Earth' (album The Chapter Of The Eclipse)*** www.project.com 02.08.50 Zero Ohms ‘Vistas Beyond' (album Cloudwalker & Ascent) www.spottedpeccary.com 02.16.13 Shall Remain Nameless ‘Trip: Singing Of Angels' (album Retitled) ***https://shallremainnameless.bandcamp.com 02.24.48 Joseph L Young ‘The Forgotten'(album Into The Unknown) https://josephlyoung.com 02.29.08 Joseph L Young ‘Into The Unknown' 02.34.06 Robert Fox ‘Resurrection' (album Timeless Vol 2) Edit *** www.admusiconline.com 02.36.14 Robert Fox ‘Icarus' 02.43.28 Robert Fox ‘Woodland Carpet In Blue' 02.47.21 Cass Anawaty & Brian Fechino ‘Cloud Races' (EP Let Go) www.heartdancerecords.com 02.51.43 Psycho & Plastic ‘Back & Forth' (album Phantom Bliss) https://psychoandplastic.bandcamp.com 02.45.05 Doug Lynner ‘The Mysterious Transition' (album The Mysterious Transition) *** https://douglynner.bandcamp.com Edit ***

The concept of a "soundscape" was defined in the 1960s as a combination of sounds that create an immersive environment. It includes sounds of the natural acoustic environment and weather—called the geophony; animals and insects—called the biophony; and sounds made by humans—the anthropophony. In Canada, the soundscape idea was established for a whole generation of musicians by composer and educator R. MURRAY SCHAFER. Among his students were two young Canadian electronic musicians — MYCHAEL DANNA and TIM CLEMENT. In the mid 1980s they were creating what they called "environmental electronic music" like this classic track from the album SUMMERLAND. DANNA went on to become an A-list film composer known for non-traditional scores for films like The Life of Pi, while the combination of natural acoustic environmental sounds and electronic music became one of the enduring trends in the ambient music of today. Like scores for imaginary films, they can entertain, challenge, or sooth us, sending signals to our ancient limbic alert system that tell us to be vigilant, or relax. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a collection of immersive environments and electro-acoustic soundscapes called FLOATING WORLDS 3. Music is by DANNA & CLÉMENT, SINEPEARL, TOM EATON, ALPHA WAVE MOVEMENT, ALIO DIE & REMCO HELBERS, and STEVE ROACH. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Bio Is The New  Black #6 - Entretien avec Anne-Lyse Renon, Design graphique dans les pratiques de la science

A spiraling of seamless lifeforms, with The Future Sound Of London, Withering Of Light, Oophoi, Alio Die and Experimental Audio Research.

In the warm, bright days of summer, an ambient fan yearning for travel to exotic cultures will book a flight on Sequencer Airlines. With its steady pulse, it's a perfect rhythm for moving through space. The roots go back to 9th century Persia, but the music sequencer idea really got going in the 19th century after the Industrial Revolution, with popular devices like music boxes, mechanical organs, and player pianos. By the first generation of electronic synthesizers in the 1960s and 70s, the Step Sequencer was a machine that turned equal length notes into repeating rhythm patterns. They're simple, delightfully hypnotic, and fun to work with. Today things are more complicated, but a lot more powerful. We have audio sample sequencers, loop-based creative music software, phrase samplers, and digital audio recording software many times more powerful than the primitive sequencers of early synths—and hey! They're still fun to work with. On this transmission of Hearts of Space...a journey from kinetic sequencer patterns to exotic Southeast Asian ambient soundscapes—on a program called AMBIENT TRAVELER 2. Music by ATOMIC SKUNK, DAVID PARSONS, CHRISTEL VERAART, CHRONOTOPE PROJECT, LOREN NERELL, ALIO DIE & LORENZO MONTANA, RICHARD BONE.

This is one of those mixes where the title pretty much says it all...Summer Sleeps.  I found that if I keep titles fairly straight forward and clear that plays on Mixcloud go up a bit. I listen to music every night when I go to bed.  And lately I was getting bored with old sleep mixes so of course the solution is to make a new one.  There's not much else to say about this mix, just lay back and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

It’s that time again for our latest podcast, they seem to come around so quick now. Here’s bit of none musical news. It’s been confirmed the wettest winter on record here in the UK, although one of the mildest, not like some of you in the States and Canada still freezing your …….you know what I mean boys. Getting to the music, nearly half of musicians make their debut on Sequences. Astral Dance and Sozo Heaven gives us powerful melodic, rhythmic, sounds, Transcend with Time’s progressive New Age ambient spectrum, live recording with no computers from Hawkdream, the captivating electro ambient journey of Alio die with Sylvi Alli’s evanescent, intense and moving vocals. Psychedelic Industrial ambient music from Martin Castro from Argentina, MaEasy the space keyboarder with electronic soundscapes, at times bombastic and cinematic with cosmic harmonies and finishing off the new boys Playman 54’s ambient avante garde sounds. With those returning we have two legendary ambient musicians, Steve Roach and Erik Wollo with new albums. Iranian Tegh’s mesmerising layered experimental sounds, good friends Alba Ecstasy and Nord from Romania and we preview the new album from Alpha Wave Movement and finally the second of the two female’s on this issue, Lomita with a little help from Antony Walters.

About a year ago I did a mix of my favorite ambient artists of all time.  I have been meaning to do a mix of my favorite ambient albums of all time ever since.  And now here it is. I did not go back and look at my favorite artist list.  I sorted through my ambient collection and came up with my fav albums.  Then I compared the two lists and not surprisingly they are almost identical.  Basically I substituted Scott Solter for Alio Die when I made the fav album list.  At least I didn't repeat any tunes from one mix to the next. Choosing a favorite album from some of these artists was difficult.  Steve Roach has some many recordings that it was tough to know where to start but I kept coming back to the one that gets the most play and that is "The Dream Circle."  I wonder how many other folks like this album as much as I do.  I'm not e really sure why I like it more than his other releases, it definitely sounds similar to a lot of his other output.  I guess over the years it's become like a comfy sweatshirt. Stars of the Lid & Eno were both hard to choose a favorite as well.  With SOTL I ended up going with the album that I first discovered them with.  In choosing "On Land" from Eno I really could have just flipped a coin to choose between it and "Music for Airports," "Apollo" and "Music for Films."   The one favorite that probably doesn't make a lot of lists is "One River" by Scott Solter.  Using mostly processed guitars this album ebbs & flows beautifully from one tracks to the next.  I was happy to see that it's available on Bandcamp, although it's one long track instead of separate tracks like the original.  You can find it HERE.   Enjoy.

Although it was created in March, this mix shows little signs of "Spring". There was no intentional relation, but inevitably the devastating Japan Earthquake, and the frightening nuclear disaster following it, somehow found its way into this mix. The result: a rather dark overall atmosphere, which seems to leave little room for hope. But at the same time, in Europe, winter retreats and daylight returns. Nature shows that it can destroy as well as recuperate. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Playlist: 00:00 Porzellan - Vopar Tar[Parvo] Art, 2009, parvo 00702:15 Max Richter - The Vel D'HivElle s'appelait Sarah, 2010, Editions Jade 05:12 Colin Potter & Michael Begg - CarnethyFragile Pitches, 2010, Omnempathy OMIC108:29 Victor Joaquim - Radio_OEssays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time, 2005, Crónica 02009:39 Janek Schaefer - Untitled49 Years from Gesang der Jünglinge (2005-1958), 2005, Sirr 002013:08 Mikko Tarmia - Amb_end_softAmnesia, The Dark Descent (Game Soundtrack), 2010, Frictional Games13:25 Mikko Tarmia - Amb_extra01Amnesia, The Dark Descent (Game Soundtrack), 2010, Frictional Games13:40 Jack Wall - Linking ChamberMyst IV, Revelation (Game Soundtrack), 2005, Ubisoft14:12 Mikko Tarmia - Event_hallwayAmnesia, The Dark Descent (Game Soundtrack), 2010, Frictional Games14:18 Alio Die & Mariolina Zitta - Lithos (Part II)La Sala Dei Cristalli, 2010, Hic Sunt Leones HSL05816:08 Peter Andersson - SarkophagusMusic for Film & Exhibition II, 2010, Old Europa Cafe, OECD13518:07 Deaf Center - Hunted TwiceOwl Splinters, 2011, Type 08022:13 Heitor Alvelos - Had a Scanner been born on the BopsphorusEssays on Radio: Can I Have 2 minutes of Your Time, 2005, Crónica 02022:48 Max Eastley - Aerophones 5Installation Recordings (1973 - 2008), 2010, Paradigm Discs, PD2623:14 The Green Kingdom - Velvet LandscapeHidden Landscapes, 2011, Audio Gourmet AGCD00326:10 The Fun Years - Re: We're Again Buried UnderBaby It's Cold Inside, 2008, Barge Recordings, BRG00528:17 Steve Peters - Hymne (pour un Fils des Étoiles)Erik Satie et les Nouveaux Jeunes, 2011, Arbouse ARBOU02830:58 Gareth Davis & Machinefabriek - Grower, part 1Grower, 2011, Sonic Pieces 01037:28 Sussan Deyhim - PulsePossessed, 2001, Venus Rising Records40:44 Carl Michael von Hausswolff - Life and Death of PbocLife and Death of Pboc, 1986, Radium 226.05 RAPH 013-4(also in the 'Enter the Void' Soundtrack, 2010)42:08 Michel Banabila - The FallAlice in Wonderland & Various Other Works, 2010, unreleased43:47 Eluvium - Ogives RedistributedErik Satie et les Nouveaux Jeunes, 2011, Arbouse ARBOU02846:05 Lexithimie - Flesh and StonesI Rather Die Terrified, 2010, Audio Gourmet AGN01847:28 Antonymes - A Fragile AcceptanceThe Licence to Interpret Dreams, 2011, Hidden Shoal Recordings50:55 Deaf Center - Fiction DawnOwl Splinters, 2011, Type 08052:21 Chris Watson - Runway O2EIncidental Amplifications, 2006, Room40, EDRM40553:03 Alva Noto - Interim (for Dieter Rams)For 2, 2010, Line Line_04454:00 Pleq - Good Night, Pjusk RemixGood Night EP, 2010, Basses Frequences BF2958:06 Porzellan - Nebuleuse IIThe Fourth Level of Comprehension, 2009, Hibernate HB031:00:00 End

Vergeten Tijd ('Time Forgotten') was not specifically created for the Polderlicht Project (Amsterdam, 2001), but the mix fits in seamlessly with KlankSluis and Eindpunt. Because these three mixes were broadcast in one 'go' on dutch radio in 2002, I like to refer to them as the "Polderlicht Trilogy". To me, good drone/ambient music always has a feeling of timelessness. This mix (like most of my others) combines some of the deepest drones (Thomas Köner, Alio Die, Stars of the Lid) with music that is not even remotely considered 'ambient', yet has a similar feeling (Calexico, David Darling, Kimmo Pohjonen). --- originally published on Ambientblog --- Vergeten Tijd Playlist: Kimmo Pohjonen - Avanto - Kluster - 2002Alio Die - The Hidden Spring - The Hidden Spring -1999Kit Clayton - Untitled 7 - Lateral Forces (Surface Fault) - 2001Stars of the Lid - Gasfarming - The Tired Sounds of...- 2001Toshinori Kondo & Bill Laswell - Untitled Track - Life Space Death - 2001Tom Heasley - Ground Zero - Where the Earth Meets the Sky - 2001310 - Persian Wolf - Downtown and Brooklyn Only - 2001310 - Prewar Doorman - Downtown and Brooklyn Only - 2001David Darling - Lament - Cello - 1993Silent Watcher of Dark Matters- Deep Space - Toward the Infinite - 2001Peter Schaefer - Gulf Savannah - The Mynah - 1996Austere - Thanatos - Monodia- 1999Loop Guru - Saboda - Catalogue of Desires, vol. 3: the Clear White Variation - 1996Thomas Köner - Meta Incognita - Permafrost - 1997Jochem Paap - Un-klkkn - Vrs-Mbnt-Pcs 9598 I - 1998Falling Water - Bamboo Rainsticks - Bamboo Rainsticks - 1999Arve Henriksen - White Gravel - Sakuteiki - 2001David Tollefson - Exqoor (illusive mix) - The Other World - 1998Kimmo Pohjonen - Alla - Kluster - 2002Calexico - Untitled II - Hot Rail - 2000Egghatcher - Sweep - The Other World - 1998Lull - Travels - Dreamt about Dreaming - 1992LLIPS vs. Starfish Pool - Mouthful - Sweetwater - 2000Steve Roach - Midnight Loom - Midnight Moon - 1998Solitaire - Runes - Ritual Ground - 1993Air Liquide - Tinitus - rauschen gefährdet ihre gesundheit - Abuse your Illusions - 1995Paul Giger - Zauerli 3 - Alpstein - 1991Piano Magic - Untitled III - Son de Mar - 2001

A softer, psychedelic mix this time around. Starting with the lush ambience of Orchid, the mix cascades through the Orb, DJ Krush, Entheogenic and more, with the intense atmospheres of Robert Rich and Alio Die to wash away any bad karma you had left.
