Solénoïde (21.04.2025) - Cette semaine, Solénoïde vous propose de franchir l'un de ces passages — un vortex suspendu entre rêve et matière, entre mémoire et avenir. Il a été façonné avec une précision d'orfèvre, par l'un des plus grands architectes du sensible : Thomas Bücker, cerveau du projet Bersarin Quartett, qui nous offre ici un SolénoMix exclusif, dense, mouvant, hautement cinématographique. Alors, installez-vous ! Fermez les yeux ! Ce que vous allez entendre n'est pas un mix, c'est une constellation. Et chaque étoile porte en elle une charge émotionnelle, un souvenir possible, une sensation future...

Solénoïde (20.01.2025) - L'équipage de Solénoïde vous embarque dans son voyage musical annuel avec Rétrobalisage 2024, une rétrospective dédiée aux pépites discographiques de l'année écoulée. Après avoir exploré plusieurs centaines d'albums, ce sont 15 œuvres marquantes, issues pour la plupart de labels indépendants, qui ont été soigneusement sélectionnées. Dans cette première partie, nous mettons en lumière 7 albums singuliers, mêlant sonorités néoclassiques, ambiances électroniques et influences world.

Next on our mixtape series is Bersarin Quartett, the solo project of German electronic musician Thomas Bücker, with a delicate selection ranging from film scores, to gaming, and ambient tracks. Working within the realms of modern classical and ambient music, Bücker has garnered acclaim for his contributions as Bersarin Quartett (which he has been running for over 15 years), notably through his publications with Denovali Records. Bersarin Quartett's sonic landscapes are distinguished by a fusion of atmospheric textures, electronic nuances, and classical instrumentation, crafting a singular and emotive auditory journey. Bücker's oeuvre has earned widespread praise for its unique stylistic approach, captivating both ambient and experimental music audiences alike. A heavy sense of melancholy runs through the Bersarin Quartett sonic core, which Bücker confirms is indeed a big part of the project. The Quartett's most recent release, Systeme, also released on Denovali, marks its fifth release. It is described as probably the artist's most intimate and focused sonic narrative.  In this album, melancholy mixed with a sense of distorted alienation or strangeness is described as something that, while it still sounds popularly symphonic here and there, many soundscapes have an observing, almost unmasking effect. Microtonal shifts, polyrhythmic structures, tempo fluctuations, and sound aesthetics torn out of context create a fragile, unpredictable foundation. The mix he has prepared for us, he mentions, combines many film scores, gaming, and ambient tracks that really impressed and inspired him: First, I sorted the individual tracks by key so they could be mixed together appropriately. Here and there, this even creates completely new soundscapes beyond the original. To present my current album a little more closely, I have interwoven four new Bersarin Quartett tracks!

Solénoïde (29.01.2024) - Cette semaine, Solénoïde vous invite à un voyage sonore à travers les paysages musicaux de l'Allemagne, un pays riche en diversité culturelle et artistique, coincé entre l'Europe occidentale et centrale. Dans cette seconde Virée Germanique, nous explorons la mosaïque musicale qui définit ce territoire fascinant. Connue pour son répertoire diversifié allant de l'électro à l'ambient, du néoclassique au dub, l'Allemagne s'offre à nous pendant 55 minutes d'exploration auditive. Au cours de cette émission, vous découvrirez des artistes que nous avons le plaisir de programmer depuis plusieurs années. Des virtuoses contemporains maniant les synthés analogiques, des musiciens profondément enracinés dans l'expérimentation, et des créateurs audacieux qui bâtissent des ponts entre instruments acoustiques et sources numériques.

Tras la llegada del Hombre a la Luna, el siguiente reto en la conquista espacial fue llegar a Venus. La órbita de Venus es un 28% más cercana al Sol que la de la Tierra. Por este motivo, las naves que viajan hacia Venus deben recorrer más de 41 millones de kilómetros adentrándose en el campo gravitatorio del Sol, perdiendo parte de su energía potencial que es entonces transformada en energía cinética; esto ocasiona que este tipo de trayectorias tengan que ser calculadas con mucha precisión. Por otro lado, la atmósfera de Venus no facilita maniobras de frenado atmosférico. Venus es un planeta de atmósfera masiva y sus capas exteriores son mucho más variables y complicadas que las de otros planetas, como Marte. Aterrizar en Venus implica contar con una información extremadamente precisa de la densidad atmosférica en las capas superiores. Tras el fracaso de la sonda Sputnik 7 lanzada hacia Venus el 4 de febrero de 1961 y que no pudo salir de la órbita terrestre, el 12 de febrero de 1961, la sonda espacial soviética Venera 1 (llamada también inicialmente Sputnik 8) se convierte en la primera sonda enviada con éxito hacia otro planeta. La Venera 1 fue la primera en combinar todas las características necesarias de una nave espacial interplanetaria: paneles solares, antena parabólica para la telemetría, estabilizadores en tres ejes, motor de corrección de rumbo y el primer lanzamiento desde una órbita de aparcamiento. Venera 1 fue la primera nave espacial lanzada para sobrevolar Venus. Perteneció al Programa Venera y consistió en un cuerpo cilíndrico coronado por una cúpula, de 2'35 m de altura y 1'5 m de diámetro. La masa de combustible era de 643'5 Kg. Dos paneles solares, con una superficie total de 2 m², se extendían en forma radial desde el cilindro. Para las comunicaciones se diseñó una antena de alta ganancia desplegable de 2 m de diámetro. Los comandos de enlace ascendente se enviaron a la nave espacial a 770 MHz y 1'6 bits/s. La sonda estaba equipada con instrumentos científicos, entre ellos un magnetómetro al final de un brazo de 2 m, trampas de iones, detectores de micrometeoritos y contadores de radiación cósmica. La cúpula contenía una esfera de combustible a presión de 1'2 atm que contenía un banderín de la Unión Soviética y fue diseñada para flotar en el océano venusiano tras el impacto previsto. La nave Venera 1 también llevaba un motor de corrección de curso. El control de temperatura —nominalmente a 30°C— se logró con persianas térmicas. Siete días después del lanzamiento, a aproximadamente dos millones de kilómetros de la Tierra, se perdió el contacto con la nave. Entre el 19 y el 20 de mayo de 1961 pasó a 100.000 Km de Venus para, posteriormente, entrar en órbita heliocéntrica. Éste fue el segundo de dos intentos de enviar una sonda a Venus en febrero de 1961, inmediatamente después del lanzamiento de su nave hermana Venera-1VA No.1,​ que no llegó a abandonar la órbita de la Tierra. El motor 11D33 fue el primero de ciclo de combustión en etapas del mundo y también el primer uso de un motor de vacío para permitir el cohete de combustible líquido en el espacio. Se llevaron a cabo tres sesiones de telemetría, reuniendo datos de viento solar y rayos cósmicos cerca de la Tierra, en la magnetopausa de la Tierra. El 19 de febrero, a una distancia de 1.900.000 Km, después de descubrir el viento solar con Luna 2, Venera 1 proporcionó la primera verificación de que este plasma estaba presente uniformemente en el espacio profundo. Siete días después, no se pudo realizar la siguiente sesión de telemetría programada. El 19 de mayo de 1961 Venera 1 pasó a menos de 100.000 Km de Venus. Los ingenieros soviéticos determinaron que Venera-1 falló debido al sobrecalentamiento de un sensor de orientación. El 22 de julio de 1962 la NASA lanzó la primera misión del programa espacial estadounidense con destino a Venus, la sonda Mariner 1, que se destruyó durante el despegue. A los 4 min y 53 s se produjo una inclinación inesperada del cohete que fue detectada por los encargados de seguridad de la misión. Ante esta situación que implicaba alguna posibilidad de que el cohete cayese en el océano cerca de las rutas transatlánticas, se envió una orden al cohete para su autodestrucción 6 s antes de que liberase la sonda. Durante la caída, el transpondedor de radio siguió mandando señales durante 64 s. El fallo fue causado por la combinación de dos factores: interferencias en las señales recibidas y la omisión de un guión en las instrucciones del programa de guiado del cohete. Ambos errores provocaron que durante las pérdidas de contacto con tierra el cohete modificara su trayectoria y se desviara de la ruta prevista. Igualmente fallida resultó la sonda Sputnik 19, similar a la Venera 1 y lanzada por la Unión Soviética el 25 de agosto de 1962. Sin embargo, el primer éxito en la exploración de Venus no se haría esperar mucho más. La Mariner 2 sobrevoló Venus en diciembre de 1962 a una distancia de 34.773 Km y se convirtió en la primera sonda en transmitir desde las proximidades del planeta. Era una sonda lunar del tipo Ranger modificada. Estableció que Venus no tenía campo magnético y consiguió medir las emisiones térmicas de microondas del planeta.

La música... Es algo increíble. Tiene la capacidad de potenciar nuestro estado de ánimo: de enfatizar nuestra euforia o de agrandar nuestra melancolía. Es difícil de explicar con palabras. Dicen que una imagen vale más que mil palabras. Para mí una canción vale más que mil imágenes. Hay sin embargo músicas que no transmiten nada. Al menos a mí no me dicen nada. Y otras, por el contrario, lo dicen todo. Neuromanter, Tony Anderson, Bersarin Quartett, Mattia Cupelli, Salt of the Sound feat.

The end of a year is a popular moment to release a (label) compilation. Sometimes to look back, sometimes to look ahead.... and sometimes just because it's compilation time. Here's an (incomplete!) overview of some recent compilations presenting hours (and more hours) of listening pleasure. VARIOUS ARTISTS - ILLUMINATIONS II Dronarivm kicks off with this New Year Charity Compilation. No less than 30 track and almost three hours of music, priced ridiculously low to begin with... but of course you will want to pay more because of the amount of music, ánd because the profits go to 4Paws for Ability, an organisation that 'enriches the lives of children with disabilities by training and placing quality, task-trained service dogs.' (You can also donate directly of course, but why would you when you're offered a batch of quality music in the process?) The thirty artists presented here show why Dronarivm has become one of the most important labels in the ambient/experimental electronic genre. It's an impressive array of which I will only mention a few names: Aaron Martin, Bruno Sanfilippo, Loscil, Jacaszek, Machinefabriek, Endless Melancholy, Legiac, Offthesky, Olan Mill, Sven Laux, Anne Chris Bakker, Antonymes, Giulio Aldinucci, Pleq, Hakobune, Pausal Chihei Hatakeyama. And that are just 17/30. Even more impressive is the fact that all these tracks are exclusive - they have not appeared on earlier releases before. So this is what we call a 'no-brainer'! If you missed the first (2017) edition of Illuminations with another 28 tracks, you can still download it. It is a Name-Your Price release, but I strongly suggest to double your donation for Illuminations II. Simply because. Illuminations II (The New Year 2018 charity compilation) by Various Artists VARIOUS ARTISTS - FROM HERE TO TRANQUILITY, VOL. 8: THE DARKENED PATH On a somewhat darker note, we find #8 in the From Here To Tranquility series on Silent Records, curated and founded by Kim Cascone. Not specifically an end-of-year release, by the way, but edition 8 in the From Here To Tranquility series. This edition 'addresses the pervasive darkness we find in the world today', and does so with 80 minutes of contemplative soundscapes with a retro-touch by Scott Gibbons, Kris Force, Chris Meloche, Dead Voices on Air, Michal Seta, Pragma, David Metcalfe, Legion Of Green Men, Aume, Meterpool, Mike Rooke and David Lee Myers. Not the most familiar names perhaps, and the music can be quite different in nature (a quiet atmospheric field recording track by Chris Meloche can easily be followed by a rather aggressive noise track from Dead Voices on Air), but you can simply count on Kim Cascone's experience in selecting quality sounds. From Here to Tranquility - Volume 8 (the darkened path) by Various Artists VARIOUS ARTISTS - STEEL - DRAGON'S EYE TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY Not exactly a year-in-retrospect compilation, but an album to celebrate the twelve years of existence since Yann Novak relaunched his father's record label Dragon's Eye Recordings. The 'steel' in the title is 'named after the traditional eleventh anniversary gift (due to miscalculation and a love for the cover art by Jake Muir)'. A 'variety of styles, processes, practices, techniques, and most importantly points of view' is presented in this Name-Your-Price download featuring unreleased tracks by artists that recently released work on the label. Such as: Steve Pacheco, Tobias Hellkvist, Robert Crouch, Yann Novak, Jake Muir, Fabio Perletta, Geneva Skeen, Mark Kate and wndfrm. 78 Minutes of sheer minimalist joy. Steel: Dragon's Eye Twelfth Anniversary by Various Artists VARIOUS ARTISTS - RUSTED TONE SAMPLER I Rusted Tone Recordings does not look back to 2017 because it did not exist in 2017. It is a new independent label, curated by James Armstrong, 'specialising in ambient, drone and experimental music'. Judged by this introduction sampler the label will definitely be worth keeping an eye on: it introduces artists that will be releasing albums on Rusted Tone in the coming year. Think: Darren Harper, James Osland, Wil Bolton, Green Kingdom, Spheruleus - along less familiar names like Gallery Six & Oblivia, Net, Kepier Widow, Saltings and Kevin Buchland. Suffices to say this introduction succeeds in raising interest for the label! This, too, is a Name-Your-Price download if you want. But please keep in mind that proceeds 'will go towards supporting physical releases and sustaining Rusted Tone Recordings.' Rusted Tone Recordings: Sampler Vol. 1 by Various Artists VARIOUS ARTISTS - GRENZWELLEN I A somewhat different beast (and with that I mean considerably less ambient) is this massive compilation supporting the German radio show Grenzwellen, hosted by Ecki Stieg and broadcasted on Radio Hannover. Grenzwellen started in 1987 so it exists for more than thirty years now! It can be heard every wednesday for three hours starting at 9 pm CET via the Radio Hannover livestream. But even if you can't listen to their show this compilation is a great introduction to the music that can be heard on this show. Almost 4 hours of all kinds of experimental/electronic music in a mix of well- and lesser-known artist. I won't mention them all, but here are just a few of the names that I recognise: Giulio Aldinucci, Gabi Delgado, Ulrich Schnauss, CEEYS, Marsen Jules Trio (with a 15 minute string version of Étoiles de la Nuit), Bersarin Quartett, Bartosz Dziadosz, Hecq, Arovane,Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Sven Laux, Sankt Otten, Markus Guentner, Richard Chartier, Hotel Neon. 31 Tracks, and most of them previously unreleased. Grenzwellen host and compilation curator Ecki Stieg advises to play the compilation in its entirety: "please listen in the order given. Don't use the random button!." Grenzwellen Eins by Grenzwellen VARIOUS ARTISTS - MUSIC FOR ELEVATORS And, while on the subject of massive compilation projects this one cannot stay unmentioned. Only recently I became aware of a series of (free download) releases by the Mahorka netlabel called "Music for Elevators." A nice reference to many ambient "Music for ..." releases, as well as to 'Elevator Music' - which is usually referring to anonymous 'Muzak'. The first edition of this series was released way back in 2002, followed by Vol. 2 in 2005, Vol. 3 in 2007, Vol. 4 in 2012. The three-part set Vol. 5, which is said to conclude the series, was released in 2017 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). You can still find the complete set online: the first four editions can be found on Archive.org (free downloads), the three-part Vol. 5 on Bandcamp (Name-Your-Price). So that is quite an impressive batch of unknown music to discover. Unknown - because in the tradition of netlabels, Mahorka presents the work of artists that are largely unknown - with the occasional exception depending on how 'deep' you are into the scene. "You are on board for a pushing all kinds of boundaries trip through what ambient music can be and what can be ambient music." 'Ambient' is not a very strict definition here, probably 'experimental electronic' would have been a more appropriate label. There are quite a few tracks that would probably scare the hell out of any ordinary citizen who got stuck in an elevator. But in a collection like this, everyone will find a lot of sounds to his/her liking! Music For Elevators Vol.5 (Part 1) by Various Artists

The awesome folks over at Headphone Commute asked me to do a special mix for them and of course I could not refuse. The mix is special because it is helping promote a fantastic new compilation they have put together.  It's called "...and darkness came" and you can find out about it here... Headphone Commute ...and darkness came. The compilation features 80 tracks(yes, 80 tracks!) from great artists in ambient, modern classical and experimental music.  Artists like Max Richter, Clint Mansell, offthesky, Julien Neto, Ólafur Arnalds, Dakota Suite, Christopher Willits, Loscil, Lawrence English, Maps And Diagrams, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nils Frahm, Talvihorros, Bersarin Quartett, Antonymes, Simon Scott, Dustin O'Halloran, Machinefabriek, :papercutz, and many, many, more. 100% of the proceeds are donated to two charitable organizations, Doctors Without Borders and The Humane Society, to help all those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Please head over to Headphone Commute and think about picking up this excellent compilation.

This week, we'll look at enormity and scale. Whether it's astrophysical or personal, size and distance is often difficult to gauge. Everyone has seen artist renderings of the solar system depicting the sun and planets but the scale of those drawing can't begin to reflect the actual distance between those satellites. The same is true with opinions and feelings. Often we feel so distant when in fact we share much more in common with each other than not. Other times not so much. Offering a guide this week are Blisaed, Bersarin Quartett, God Is An Astronaut, Kesakoo and Messian Dread.

This week, the chillout continues in the land of the long winters. Five artists from the Baltic region provide the heat for this frigid episode of Idyllic music. They are Fauna, Milieu, Sirk, Bersarin Quartett and Margareds.

This week we consider the glacier, a force of nature whose pace is so deliberate as to define slowness of movement yet whose disappearance is so rapid we may never truly know its relationship to the planet and ourselves. The chillout this week includes Bersarin Quartett, Dream LAX, Chris Martin, Sirk, Corwin Trails, Idyllic, The Dandelion Council and The Serendipitous Cacophonies.
