Ambient Discourses // conversations with musicians and composers
My guest on the program is Brian Fechino — a prolific guitarist, ambient artist, producer and mixer from the Nashville area. He has numerous releases and collaborations on the Heart Dance label, has an extensive history in the music business, and as I've found over the course of our conversation, both wisdom and maturity that we all could learn and benefit from. Our conversation steered through a variety of topics, like stripping away the ego, branding for today's artists, the power of gratitude and empathy, and a whole lot more. Plus we spent some time talking about his latest releases “Reflection Spaces” volumes one and two, some of the projects he's presently involved in, and his connection to Heart Dance Records.

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 ***

Cass Anawaty has been involved with music for over 20 years. As a guitarist he has studied with fingerstyle legend Alex DeGrassi, Flamenco purist Mark Taylor, and renowned Jass performer/instructor Don Latarski. His years of work as a musician and composer led him to found Sunbreak Music LLC in 2002 as a platform for media composition and production. British born Paul has loved music since earlier than he can remember. He was brought up on a strict diet of Edie Cochran, the Beatles and the Tamla Motown sounds of the sixties. He soon settled on the bass guitar as his instrument of choice and, although he can scratch out a rudimentary tune or two on the six string and the piano, he still maintains his love for the engine room of the band, the link between the rhythm that drives and the melody that charms. [ad#post-ad] The album 'Monjour' is the first of a planned series by Cass and Paul. Imagine: one lives on the West Coast of the USA, the other in Singapore. Lots of guests appear in their production as you can read on the dedicated site of the album. 'Monjour' is the result of working remotely in their studios and 8000 miles apart.... The Jukebox plays 'Sunset over Manda Valley' (Jehanna Phares Hakime, recitation). Words from the booklet: Monjour does not compete in the loudness wars. It has been mastered to preserve the dynamics and excitement of the original mixes. Therefore, for maximum aural pleasure, we advise you to turn it up REALLY FREAKIN' LOUD.
