Podcasts about Iasos

Cuando empecé a investigar nuevas formas de entender la música que se alejaban de las tendencias comerciales mayoritarias descubrí una corriente que concebía que la música debía acompañar una forma de entender la vida, que formaba parte de un compromiso con el mundo en que vivimos y que de alguna manera estaba en sintonía con una conciencia planetaria y espiritual que no podía escapar a los sonidos. Sin ser devoto de la filosofía new age sí que encontré un refugio en este estilo de música que se denominaba música para una nueva era. Marigold Sun, Blue Is Nine, David Arkenstone, Erik Wøllo, Iasos, TSODE, Hania Rani, Todd Fletcher, Phil Thornton. 🎧 El playlist detallado: lostfrontier.org/t29.html#1035.

Today's Broadcast is C2E20, for Theme Thursday, Oct 24th, 2024. All good things must come to an end. Today is the final “regular” (as in, “final non-retrospective” episode - and as opposed to “final all time” episode). This will be the final episode where we bring new tracks to the show, though. So it is still an ending. The theme, therefore, is ending music, on a program we're calling “...all good things…”   Track# / Track / Game / System / Composer(s) / Selected By   01) Summer Vacation - Tokyo Xanadu - Multiplatform - Takahiro Unisuga (Falcom Sound Team jdk) - Hugues Earcatcher - 00:00:00 Music - 00:00:03 Introduction - 00:05:23 Top of Show Business - 00:06:14 The Reveal of last episode's mystery themes - 00:09:44 Discussion - 00:24:38 02) Credits - Sonic 2 - Genesis - Masato Nakamura - St. John Music - 00:30:16 Discussion - 00:33:01 03) Staff Roll - Phantasy Star III - Genesis - Ippo Takeuchi - Hugues Music - 00:35:17 Discussion - 00:37:15 04) Ending - Super Castlevania IV - SNES - Masanori Adachi and/or Taro Kudo - St. John Music - 00:42:07 Discussion - 00:44:46 05) Ending - Another World - Amiga - Jean-François Freitas - Hugues Music - 00:54:53 Discussion - 00:56:27 06) Triforce Chamber - LoZ: Link to the Past - SNES - Koji Kondo Music - 01:00:40 Discussion - 01:02:09 07) The Credits Concerto - Donkey Kong Country - SNES - David Wise and/or Eveline Fischer - Hugues Music - 01:08:45 Discussion - 01:10:43 [EDITOR's NOTE: I partially confused Vangelis with fellow Greek musician, Iasos.

IASOS—one of the inventors of New Age music, passed away in January, 2024, three days before his 78th birthday. Born in Greece, raised in upstate New York, he moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1968, adopted the stage name Iasos, and began a nearly 50 year solo career as an independent musician. Brilliant, exuberant, and completely original, he advocated for what he called “paradise music,” and claimed that what he heard in his head was sent to him by a being from a “distant dimension” named VISTA. His debut album from 1975 was called "Inter-Dimensional Music." Where other New Age composers promoted music that was relaxing or healing, Iasos's mission was nothing less than raising the “vibratory frequency” of all humanity!! And though he often made claims that were impossible to substantiate, there could be no doubt of his absolute conviction and utter sincerity. Because of his metaphysical beliefs, and his ability to invent new methods of music production to realize them, he was able to create a body of work that was widely influential yet virtually unequaled. His music ranged from languid technicolor tropical to intensely dramatic, with lush textures and cosmic chords; from heavenly harmonies and angelic realms, to ethereal meditations with shimmering translucent curtains of sound. The overall impression is optimistic and positive, with a sense of unbounded potential. In addition to his music, Iasos was a tireless advocate for Visionary Art. His web site featured an online gallery of paintings and videos by kindred visual artists. He also published two DVDs of his own video art and original music—"Crystal Vista" and "Realms of Light." On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a Iasos retrospective called VISIONS OF PARADISE. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo...

PYTHAGORAS was the ancient Greek philosopher who taught that the cosmos is constructed of spheres, and that air (or a transparent mist called "aether") was the "arche" or substratum of everything — thus the word archetype. In 19th century Victorian science, the "luminiferous ether" was a medium for the propagation of light. In the early 20th century, the Theosophists and Rosicrucians theorized an "etheric plane" — a nonmaterial level of reality above the physical plane. When applied to music, ethereal means subtle, airy and light — immaterial and weightless. It's a word often applied to electronic music, where the sounds are not produced by physical instruments and have an abstract, immaterial quality. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we push off from the bright spaces and watery sounds of spring, journey into rarified realms of light and space, and return to verdant images of spring — on a program called ETHEREA. Music is by ISHQ, KUUTANA, MOTIONFIELD, IASOS, JEFFREY KOEPPER, and AMONGST MYSELVES. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Happy New Year to all our friends & listeners from the team, Mike, Andy and, of course, our host, Karen. Moving house over Christmas has been a busy time for me. Now in temporary accommodation with my daughter & son-in-law before another move later in the year back to the UK. Since starting Sequences in a cupboard (yes, you heard it right) with just a cassette machine, I have come full circle being back in a cupboard again while most of my possessions are in storage with just one trusty Mac computer to work on. This edition will be the only podcast for this month due to the upheaval of the last few weeks. I managed to put together a two-part podcast—the first session featuring sequential, cinematic, neo-classical music and Berlin School. Part 2 delves into ambient light & dark, symphonic, world and even experimental noise. It's with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to a good friend I've known for several years in the electronic music scene, Wolf Red, who passed away just before Christmas, and at the beginning of this new year, we lost Greek musician IASOS, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the New Age music genre in the 70s Mick The ED Playlist No 246 Part 01.04 Venja ‘Let There In Light' (album Genesis) https://venja.bandcamp.com/album/genesis 06.48 Venja ‘Genesis' 14.39 Intelligentsia ‘Canis-Majoris' (album Trilight) https://intelligentsia.bandcamp.com/album/trilight 21.25 Intelligentsia ‘Nova Aurora' 26.07 Ice Planet 9000 feat: Angelspit & Colfax Mingo ‘The Event' https://iceplanet9000.bandcamp.com/ https://youtu.be/P2-xsOMZ_1Q 33.42 Jörg Erren ‘Lens Flare' (album Snapshots) https://joergerren.bandcamp.com/album/snapshots 37.19 Jörg Erren ‘Ponte De Normandie' 40.06 Jörg Erren ‘Rammelsberg' 43.41 Jörg Erren ‘Starry Night' 46.15 Reinhardt Buhr ‘1 Hour Live Looping' ***https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1xXqBS-v2s https://reinhardtbuhr.com or 55.57 Natalia Quest ‘Inversion: Instrumental Version' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhbkzOyodZM 58.59 Bersarin Quartett ‘Gespenster' (Systeme) https://denovali.com/digitalstore/index.php 01.01.58 Bersarin Quartett ‘Autopoesie' 01.05.16 Thy Veils ‘The Ethereal' (album Psihodrom Compilation) https://psihodrom.bandcamp.com/album/v 01.11.51 Sequentia Legenda ‘Around The Great Central Sun' (album Alcyone) https://sequentia-legenda.bandcamp.com 01.21.46 Sequentia Legenda ‘Love Feeds Love' 01.24.36 Ivan Black ‘Overactive Techarchy' (album She's A Graph) https://ivanblack.bandcamp.com/album/shes-a-graph 01.31.10 Ivan Black ‘A Jamboree Of Surprises' (album The Darkest Thoughts Of Man) *** https://ivanblack.bandcamp.com/album/the-darkest-thoughts-of-man 01.39.44 Eraldo Bernocci /Hoshiko Yamane ‘Hidden Secret' (album Sabi) https://denovali.com/digitalstore/index.php 01.44.29 Eraldo Bernocci /Hoshiko Yamane ‘Ichirin' 01.50.28 Apocliptic & Romerium ‘Atmospheric Voyage' (album Air (Ambient, Ethereal, Symphonic) https://romerium.bandcamp.com 01.56.16 Apocliptic & Romerium ‘Mesosphere Melodies' 02.04.39 Arin Aksberg& Sam Rosenthal ‘Homecoming' (album Nordic Patterns) https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com 02.11.26 Arin Aksberg ‘Looking Back' 02.16.54 Carl Lord 'Touch' (album The 5 Senses) www.heartdancerecords.com 02.21.40 Retep Folo & Dorothy Moskowitz ‘The Black Hill Suite - Falling Skies' (Album Afterlife) https://buriedtreasure.bandcamp.com 02.24.38 Philip Chika ‘Caravan To The Cosmos' (album Caravan To The Cosmos) https://mutantmozart.bandcamp.com/album/caravan-to-the-cosmos Edit ***

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I reflect a little on what Phill Niblock meant to me and the wider world of experimental sound (plus some love for IASOS!). He was one of the titans of the titans who leaves one hell of a legacy.

This week, Cindy Juyoung Ok talks with Richie Hofmann, whose latest book is A Hundred Lovers (Knopf, 2022), about the ancient tale of Hermias of Iasos which informs Hofmann's poem “Dolphin.” The poem appears in the July/August issue of Poetry alongside “Breed Me,” and we'll hear both on today's episode. Hofmann and Ok reveal they are both “Cavafy heads,” and Hofmann discusses the influence of Robert Mapplethorpe on his poems, as well as why lineation is one of the “erotic touchstones” of poetry.

It's time for a bumper episode. Lily from the Indieheads crew joins Boo and Alexis to pick through 3 hours of chat about some of the coolest, most cutting-edge and innovative bits of electronic music, and also Bon Iver. We're covering Tim Hecker's Love Streams, Bon Iver's i,i and Kali Malone's Living Torch. #kalihive Next episode, Boo and Alexis will be joined by the one and only Patrick Totally to talk about Joni Mitchell's Hejira, Lewis' L'Amour and Iasos' Inter-Dimensional Music.

La mythologie grecque. Un monde mystérieux et héroïque, dans lequel des générations d'enfants se sont plongés. C'est le cas de Petit-Pouce, garçon à la curiosité insatiable, et aux questions sans limites. Et ça tombe bien, son grand-père connaît plein d'histoires, qu'il est ravi de partager. Dans cet épisode, Papoush convoque Atalante, célèbre chasseuse et guerrière. Surnommée l'orgueil des forêts d'Arcadie, cette dernière raconte ses péripéties depuis que son père Iasos l'a abandonnée petite, déçu d'avoir eu une fille.Réalisation et montage : Louis Bolla et Emile BenechVoix Atalante : Lorraine Gregori

"Inter-Dimensional Music" de Iasos.

Summer...invites us to relax, take a break from work, and have a bit of fun. I know, it's hard to tune out the noise of our contentious politics these days, but even the most ardent partisans need to rest and recharge for the battles ahead. So in summer we travel, we explore, we play, we dance, we celebrate with family and friends. The music of summer is lighter, happier, more active. And for some ambient composers, it's an opportunity to envision a better world by creating idealized sonic environments. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, ambient atmospheres for the perfect summer, on a program called SUMMER VISIONS. Music is by AMBIENTALISM, PETER CALANDRA, EDAMAME, PETE KUZMA, TAKASHI SUZUKI, ASHANEEN, ISHQ, and IASOS. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Schallplattenkarate ist ein loses Kollektiv aus Nordberlin, das sich einmal im Monat trifft, um sich seltsame Platten vorzuspielen. Namaste und Herzlich Willkommen zu Schallplattenkarate. In der 31. Sendung erobern Kirsten, Niklas und Vincent ein neues Zeitalter und werfen einen entspannten Blick auf das weite Feld der New Age Musik. Hinten links im Plattenladen steht eine staubige Plattenkiste, die keiner mehr so wirklich mag. Die Cover zieren unbeholfene Acrylgemälde von buddhistischen Statuen, fernen Galaxien, Sonnenuntergängen und Wüstenlandschaften. Ein wenig stinken die Platten auch nach Räucherstäbchen und Katzenhaaren. »New Age//Meditation//Elektronik« hat der Plattenladenbesitzer auf das sorgsam platzierte Klebeband geschrieben. Vielleicht hilft es ja. Die Musiker tragen weite Gewänder und versprechen mit wissendem Lächeln spirituelle Erleuchtung. Einatmen. Ausatmen. Einatmen. Ausatmen. Mit Musik von Deuter, Popol Vuh, Andreas Vollenweider, Iasos u.v.a. # Schallplattenkarate Schallplattenkarate ist ein loses Kollektiv aus Nordberlin, das sich einmal im Monat trifft, um sich seltsame Platten vorzuspielen. Jetzt machen Kirsten, Vincent und Niklas auch eine Radiosendung, vielleicht um sich dadurch ihr zeit-, geld- und platzintensives Hobby zu legitimieren. Spaß beiseite: Die drei hangeln sich einmal im Monat zwei Stunden durch das Plattendickicht der Berliner Flohmärkte, Ramschläden und Online-Auktionshäuser. Musik der letzten 50 Jahre, Gitarren, Schlagzeug, Drumcomputer, Synthesizer, Steel Drum, Maultrommel und was sonst so geil ist. * http://radio-woltersdorf.org

Popular electronic music was born out of the creative ferment of the 1960s. As a result, it took on some of the character of the cultures from which it emerged. In academic settings, it was dry, intellectual and experimental; in Germany, technical and mechanistic; in France, lush and romantic; in England, it was integrated into Progressive Rock; in the U.S. and Japan, it became part of the commercial record business, with electronic versions of classical works by Bach, Debussy, Satie and Pachelbel. While in California — as you might expect — it was embraced by grassroots psychedelic and spiritual subcultures creating music for a New Age. In Los Angeles and San Francisco, sonic explorers like TERRY RILEY, MICHAEL STEARNS, STEVE ROACH, KEVIN BRAHENY, IASOS, and DON ROBERTSON discovered the power of electronic music to take listeners on virtual journeys across time and space. Soon, an international cohort of electronic musicians—aided by drugs and new instruments—began to create an informal genre of electronic "spacemusic." A young rock guitarist from Tucson, Arizona named MICHAEL STEARNS became fascinated with electronic music and moved to Los Angeles in 1975 to be part of the emerging scene. He learned to program synthesizers, started an independent record label, and began releasing his own music in 1977. In 1981 he produced a classic of California electronic journey music called PLANETARY UNFOLDING. Long out of print, it was remastered and re-released by Projekt Records in 2022. Combining early analog synthesizers with natural ambient sounds, ethereal chorales, and powerful electronic effects, it's a profound journey across time and space. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we feature PLANETARY UNFOLDING in two continuous "sides" (remember sides?) with an interlude by MICHAEL STEARNS from THE SOFT TOUCH OF MORNING LIGHT, and complete the hour with additional music by MICHAEL STEARNS...

It's utterly without tension, reliably tonal and melodic, and wouldn't hurt a fly. Yet New Age music has been the subject of decades of casual ridicule. Originally a grassroots phenomenon with a do-it-yourself creative ethic made possible by the home studio movement, after a period of mainstream success in the 1980s, it retreated to serving its core audience. Despite the criticism, New Age remained a popular niche, showing that a therapeutic music for relaxation, meditation, virtual travel, and alternative forms of spirituality had become something of a psychological necessity in high-intensity modern life. Around 2004, a critical reappraisal of the genre began, led by music blogger Douglas Mcgowan and by serious music collectors, Gen X'ers and Millennials who were children during the glory days of New Age. Evaluating musicians on their own merit rather than writing off the entire genre led to the conviction that some of the artists had been underappreciated, and the genre itself had been overcriticized. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, New Age music reconsidered — on a program called THE NEXT DIMENSION. Music is by DEAN EVENSON, SCOTT HUCKABAY & PHIL HEAVEN, JONNY LIPFORD, DAVE EGGAR, HIROKI OKONO, UMA SILBEY, MICHAEL BRANT DEMARIA, FORREST SMITHSON, MIKE CLAY, IASOS, and PAUL AVGERINOS.

This week on Transmissions, a heady conversation with Carlos Niño about spontaneous composition, the influence of hip-hop culture, his radio roots, and his latest, More Energy Fields, Current. "...Frequently, I would say I'm doing some version of supercomputing, where I'm completely free in the moment and I'm also bookmarking sections I know I want to get back to." From his days at dublab to his partnerships with artists like Laraaji and Iasos and much more, we're glad to have Niño on.

Episode 38 Before “New Age” Music Playlist Irv Teibel, "Tintinnabulation (Contemplative Sound)" (excerpt) from Environments (New Concepts In Stereo Sound) (Disc 2) (1970 Syntonic Research).  This one side of the record is a rare work of purely electronic music in this series of ambient sounds. It uses computer-generated bell sounds, falling back on Teibel's experience processing sounds on an IBM 360 mainframe computer at Bell Labs. Electronically generated gongs are the key sound and the record was promoted for meditation. A sticker on the cover said "A Sensitizer for the Mind." We will listen to the first ten minutes of this track 30-minute track from the album. From the liner notes: “As an illustration of the possibilities currently under examination, Syntonic Research decided to experiment with bell sounds as an environmental sound source. . . . Tintinnabulation can be played at any speed, from 78 to 16 rpm, in full stereo. At different speeds, the sounds change in tone and apparent size, although the harmonics remain unchanged. The effect, unlike real bells, is fully controllable by the use of your volume, bass, and treble controls.” 10:11 Eberhard Schoener, “Meditation Part 2” from Meditation (1973 Ariola). Synthesizer and electronics, Eberhard Schoener. From the liner notes: “The voices are vocal transmissions. The material consists of white sound, sine, triangle, pulse and saw-tooth waves. No "live" or concrete sounds were used in the music.” This album is more in tune with the Environments approach, harmonies without musical structure. 18:19 Master Wilburn Burchette, “Yin” from Psychic Meditation Music (1974 Burchette Brothers). Impro-guitar, analog synthesizers and electronics, Wilburn Burchette. Californian spiritual, Burchette self-produced and distributed his records on the Burchette Brothers label in collaboration with his brother, Kenneth, from 1971 to 1977. He gave up music in the late 70s to self-publish his prophecies by newsletter. In Burchette's liner notes, he claimed to have discovered a new type of music called Impro. “Impro's transcendental tone scale takes you into the frontiers of human experience.” 18:06 Bill Reddie, “Starbody Suite” from Starbody (1974 Channel 1 Records). Produced and all instruments played by Bill Reddie. 20:08 Iasos, " Maha-Splendor" from Inter-Dimensional Music (1975 Unity Records). First album by this Greek master of the electric flute. Composed and played by Iasos, all instruments including synthesizers. Electronics consultant, Rich Hensolt. From the liner notes: “The music of one who, with his inner eye, envisions the vast magnificence of Creation and becomes so overwhelmed by its infinite splendor that he goes into a state of spiritual ecstacy.” 5:51 Steven Halpern, "Dancing Through The Rainbow Part 2" from Spectrum Suite (1976/79 Halpern Sounds). Composed, Produced, Fender Rhodes, Prophet 5 and Vako Orchestron synthesizers, Steven Halpern; electric flute, Iasos. The Vako Orchestron played pre-recorded sounds stored on an optical disc, primarily orchestral sounds as an alternative to the Mellotron. First of what would be thought of as a new age album from Halpern. There are many versions of this recording on cassette and LP. Originally released in 1975, this edition of the LP included for the first time the tracks "Dancing Through the Rainbow," parts 1 and 2. From the liner notes: “On this recording, his first in an entire series of Anti-Frantic Alternatives, Steven Halpern not only performs on his exquisite keyboard, but he plays YOUR human instrument as well.” 4:46 Robert Bearns & Ron Dexter, "Flowers of Our Childhood" from The Golden Voyage Vol. One (1977 Awakening Productions). Produced and played by (all instruments) Robert Bearns and Ron Dexter. The first is a series of six albums around the theme of The Golden Voyage, initially released on cassette. 5:04 Kitaro, "Mu/Dawn of the Astral" from Ten Kai/Astral Trip (1978 Polydor). Moog Synthesizer, Korg Synthesizer, ARP Synthesizer, Roland Synthesizer, Koto, Mandolin, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Percussion, Bass, Kitaro.

In the early 20th century, the Theosophists and the Rosicrucians theorized an ethereal plane—a nonmaterial level of reality above the physical plane. When applied to music, ethereal implies subtle, light and airy, immaterial and weightless. It's a word that's often used to describe electronic music, where sounds are not produced by physical instruments and have an abstract, immaterial quality. This music can take us to virtual spaces and imaginary worlds. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, synthetic journeys on the subtle planes, on a program called ETHEREAL ELECTRONIC. Music is by NICHOLAS GUNN, DAVID ARKENSTONE, GILES REAVES, KEVIN BRAHENY FORTUNE, PAUL AVGERINOS, BING SATELLITES, IASOS, and ERIK WØLLO.

Affirmations work by reprogramming the subconscious mind. It doesn't matter whether you believe the affirmation consciously or not, when you hear it, your frequency shifts, your unconscious beliefs shift, and so your life starts to shift. You can sit quietly and listen to the affirmation as a meditation practice You can listen to it in bed before you go to sleep or as soon as you wake up You can listen to it while you run or do yoga You can have it playing in the background while you go about your day at home You can put it on repeat and have it playing overnight You don't even have to be able to hear it for it to work!This is the first affirmation I have ever recorded. I didn't prepare or write anything down, I just spoke from my heart. It was healing for me to make it. My intention is that you too, experience healing by playing it.There is so much information going around now, our conscious minds are frazzled. So I chose to put something out that is working on the subconscious. And there are so many different versions of reality right now, I didn't want to add or detract to any of that; I wanted to make something that could stand alone, and be relevant whichever narrative you are tuning into right now.Huge gratitude to Carlos Nino for permission to use his music. It's called Reverbechosystem, and it was made with Iasos. It's from the 2019 album, Bliss On Dear Oneness, on Leaving Records.

Boys and girls, All Hallows’ Eve is here, and you’re tuned into the October edition of the Transmissions podcast. The veil is thin and we’re back with another round of discussions and digressions. On this episode, Chicago’s Whitney discusses Forever Turned Around, the group’s sophomore lp. Then, New Age pioneer Don Slepian takes us back to the early ’80s. And to close out, a long ramble about Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ haunted instant classic, Ghosteen.   Whitney’s second new album, Forever Turned Around, is out now on Secretly Canadian records. Like their debut, Light Upon the Lake, it’s a balmy, breezy record. Produced by Brad Cook of Bon Iver and Johnathan Rado of Foxygen, it sees the duo of Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich expanding and deepening their sound. Sitting down for a backstage interview with AD, Kakacek says “more of our own true emotions” made it into the new songs, which were informed by the constant touring that followed the band’s first album. “We knew better what it felt like to play them every night.”   You might recognize Don Slepian’s name from Light in the Attic’s I Am the Center: Private Issue New Age Music in America 1950-1990 compilation, where he appeared alongside Laraaji, Joanna Brouk, Iasos, Steven Halpern and other early practitioners of cosmic devotional music. Two of his early ‘80s works have recently been reissued—Sea of Bliss by Numero Group and New Dawn on Morning Trip—and he had plenty to tell guest interviewer Jesse Locke about those heady, early days.   Earlier this month, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds released their 17th studio album, Ghosteen. A double album, ambient in nature and featuring two longform spoken word performances, it’s one of Cave’s most tender, centered on the loss of his son, and the idea of “a migrating spirit.” Marty Sartini Garner, longtime Aquarium Drunkard writer and a frequent guest on this podcast, wrote a review of the album for AV Club, praising its “otherworldly and spiritual quality.” He and co-host Jason P. Woodbury got together to discuss.

In response to a very kind listener’s call, we talk about the music that near-death experiencers hear in the spirit world. Lani Leary, whose experience we shared in a previous episode, heard beautiful music in heaven, and some time after her return found herself mesmerized by the work of Iasos in a piece he wrote …
