A mixtape drawing together contributions from friends around the world, including folks running independent record labels, record producers, poets, community radio producers, musicians and others. All these tracks were recorded directly, drawn from community radio producers and collected directly from the artists, or through direct communication with some independent record labels. All the works were pulled together with the intention of sharing a mix that can point in a tiny way to the depth of different artistic and activist voices from around the world who have Palestine in their hearts. This mix was originally broadcast on Radio AlHara on Sunday, Feb. 16, 7am-11am eastern time, 2-6pm Palestine time, live on radioalhara.net Thank you for listening. - Stefan Christoff 01.

Underlying the political and religious differences that have provoked centuries of unrest in the Middle East and North Africa is the landscape—an austere region of desert and mountains, transected by great rivers: the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates. This environment, along with centuries of cultural exchange, accounts for a rough musical unity across countries and ethnicities. Thus the music of Turkey, Israel and Palestine has similarities with the Arabic and Berber music of North Africa, and the Persian traditions of Iran. Today, progressive artists working within these traditions have created a Virtual Middle East, a cultural blend that effectively ignores ethnic, religious and political differences, and brings us an image of what a peaceful future in the region might sound like. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, soulful sounds from the Virtual Middle East, on a program called DESERT SOUL. Music is by MICHEL BANABILA, DHAFER YOUSSEF, MARJAN VAHDAT, NIYAZ, ARCHETRIBE, and ANOUAR BRAHEM. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

Solénoïde (15.01.2024) - Dans l'exercice délicat du bilan annuel, Solénoïde prend les rênes d'une rétrospective musicale captivante, déployant son expertise au travers de deux épisodes aussi éclectiques que révélateurs. L'émission dévoile ainsi une anthologie discographique de 2023, empreinte de subjectivité et de passion. L'année a accueilli des figures éminentes de l'exploration sonore, avec le retour du barde méditatif Stephan Micus, de l'explorateur ambient naturaliste David Toop, et des psychonautes du Kammerflimmer Kollektief. Leur présence signale un renouveau de l'avant-garde musicale. Cependant, l'éclat de 2023 réside aussi dans ses révélations inattendues. Le projet franco-japonais Poil Ueda fusionne chants rituels nippons et free-rock contemporain de manière saisissante. La collaboration entre la chanteuse avant-gardiste Maja Ratkje et l'ensemble de chambre Nordic Affect témoigne d'une créativité iconoclaste. Solénoïde, dans une immersion sonore, expose 20 productions, sélectionnées sans hiérarchie, reflétant le paysage musical de l'année écoulée. Cette première partie du "Rétrobalisage 2023" offre un avant-goût de ces pépites, éveillant la curiosité pour la suite de cette exploration musicale captivante. Restez à l'écoute pour un panorama sonore riche et surprenant à travers les sons qui ont marqué 2023 !

Muziek lijkt soms te klinken als een ijsvliesje over de wereld: doorzichtig, strijklicht tussen de bomen, maar ook verhullend, als een glasachtig omhulsel dat benadrukt dat de wereld in de donkerste dagen van het jaar tot stilstand lijkt te zijn gekomen. Jää, Fins voor ijs, is de titel van een van de stukken op de Hollandse Nieuwe van deze week: komorebi, van het trio peltomaa fraanje perkola. Krakend ijs is het klinkend omen in de opera The Expedition van Klas Torstensson, over de mislukte expeditie van drie poolreizigers, die vanaf Spitsbergen per luchtballon naar de noordpool wilden - een historisch en dramatisch verhaal dat de Belgische componist George De Decker en kunstenaar Guido de Bruyn inspireerde tot een klank/licht-installatie - nu uit op CD. En verder in deze uitzending: het Georgische Pankisi Ensemble (uit de Vrije Geluiden Sessies), een nieuw album van componist/pianist Dante Boon, en een LP met werk van Michel Banabila.  23.04 CD Komorebi (fuga libera FUG805) Aino Peltomaa; Mikko Perkola; Harmen Fraanje: Jää   Peltomaa Fraanje Perkola 6'28” 23.11 CD The Expedition [Composers' Voice CV100) Klas Torstensson: Northern Lights solisten en Radio Filharmonisch Orkest olv Peter Eötvös Göran Eliasson [tenor] & Olle Persson [bariton] & Mats Persson [bariton] 5'50” 23.17 CD Ørnen 1897 (Antarctica Records AR 052) George de Decker: Ørnen 1897 Brisée V George de Decker & SP!TSBERGEN 12'38” 23.30 eigen opname VPRO Vrije Geluiden trad.: Deli Rezi Xilva (religious sufi chant) + Yuonaxi Belxarna Pankisi Ensemble 6'16” 23.38 CD DUOS (Editions Wandelweiser EWR 2304) Dante Boon: Alone Sasha Elina [stem]; Kirill Shirokov [piano] 7'52” 23.46 LP Sound Years (Tapu records 020TR) Michel Banabila: Close to the moon / Earth Visitor Michel Banabila 10'00”

Solénoïde (24.07.2023) - Dans cette 200e mission, offrez-vous une échappée vivifiante avec un projet familial venu de Provence : le Duo Montanaro ! Un duo violon/flûtes qui nous fait vadrouiller au carrefour des folklores balkaniques, provençaux et hongrois. Du côté de Liverpool, un génie fou de l'échantillonnage, Forest Swords, nous captivera avec son second opus ‘Compassion' (Ninja Tune) dans lequel instruments réels et sons virtuels s'imbriquent en toute fluidité. Et aux Pays-Bas, nous croiserons Maarten Vos et Michel Banabila qui ont réalisé la bande-son du spectacle de danse contemporaine de la chorégraphe Conny Janssen. Un petit chef d'œuvre d'ambient narrative à découvrir d'urgence !

Solénoïde (17.04.2023) - Place à notre première revue d'actualités printanières avec 4 albums sélectionnés dans le large spectre des musiques illustratives et narratives ! L'album "Tightrope" du néerlandais Michel Banabila servira de fil rouge à notre émission. Ce compositeur érudit n'a de cesse de se réinventer aux frontières de l'électronique, du néoclassique et des expérimentations ethniques. Protégée du label Real World, Jocelyn Pook offrira ensuite la bande son frissonnante d'un spectacle de danse revisitant la classique de Kipling, Le Livre de la Jungle. Puis, "Sleep : Tranquility Base" de Max Richter perpétuera son concept de "musique pour dormir" avec un soundtrack à la douceur cosmique éclairé par les notes élégantes de son orgue et la voix angélique d'une soprano. Et enfin, cette mission 226 accueillera un duo de Montréal, All Hands_Make Light, qui distille un rock brumeux aux allures de rituels psychédéliques contemplatifs.

Solénoïde (03.04.2023) - Cette semaine, Solénoïde va poursuivre sa croisade contre l'immobilisme musical ! Du coup, c'est une authentique randonnée radiophonique qui vous attend, une expédition sonore promise à de nombreuses turbulences atmosphériques. En quelque sorte, des phénomènes imprévisibles qui pourraient brouiller l'essentiel de vos repères géographiques et culturels. Mais n'ayez crainte, en faisant preuve d'ouverture d'esprit et de curiosité, vous surmonterez sans problème ce nouveau défi spatio-temporel. Un défi qui sera bel et bien payé en retour ! Frissons et émotions vous seront en effet garanties tout au long de ce mix qui foisonnera de sélections musicales atypiques !

A space of refuge and comfort where, while wrapped in bedlinens or a soft eiderdown quilt, our dreams and fantasies unfold. Under the clouds of the duvet, in the darkness, intimacies are exchanged between bodies, hands searching, flesh tenderly touched. A centrepiece of domesticity, the psychic landscape of the bed belongs to the private sphere. But, according to James Taylor-Foster, its role in contemporary society is far more expansive. On our phones and laptops, reading, texting, exchanging emails and taking meals propped up on pillows, this is where social lives are forged, corporate empires are built and great novels are written. Between the sheets, James speaks to the sensuous connotations of the bed, a piece of furniture which is far more than just a place of rest.Introduction and outro voiced by Johnny Vivash. Editing and sound design by Tobias Withers. Soundscape by The God in Hackney. Artwork by Karel Martens. Produced by the Extra Extra team. Many thanks to Michel Banabila for his music.

Solénoïde (05.09.2022) - L'album "Mass" du batteur BOBBY PREVITE a laissé l'équipage du Solénoïde bouche bée ! Sur ce projet, le vétéran new-yorkais ose l'impensable : emmener le chant polyphonique et médiéval (de Guillaume Dufay) aux limites du doom metal et de la drone music ! Une gageure sans pareil ! Le norvégien NILS PETTER MOLVAER mettra sa trompette au service d'un jazz rock brumeux et tumultueux, assorti d'effets électroniques, de riffs incisifs et de grooves endiablés. Venu lui aussi de Norvège, BIOSPHERE peaufinera un petit joyau atmosphérique incrusté de samples de musique folk est-européenne, susceptible de vous plonger dans un délicieux état de torpeur hypnotique. Les néerlandais MICHEL BANABILA et MACHINEFABRIEK signeront pour leur part une fresque sonore fascinante, habilement structurée entre cadences robotiques et emprunts naturalistes. De l'ambient music haut de gamme qui puise dans une large gamme de sources acoustiques et d'effets digitaux !

It doesn't take much: a quiet drone, soft skin drums, and hand claps in this case — but it opens up an immersive perceptual world that's encoded in the word "trance." Trance music has a surprisingly long provenance, stretching back from the electronic beats of today to the mists of prehistory. Whether fueled by psychoactive substances, ecstatic group experiences, or just applied boredom, the world of trance music has proven both durable and adaptable. There's acid trance, epic trance, euro-trance, tech and progressive trance, vocal trance, and dream trance — just to mention the electronic dance variations. From the traditional acoustic drumming of North Africa/ to the relentless pounding of 140 beats per minute on the electronic dance floor, repetition and the power of extended, slowly changing rhythms are the foundation. Add infinite feedback guitar and Ambient electronics, and you have a sonic vehicle for travel to exotic virtual spaces. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an ethno-tronic journey on psycho-active trance rhythms, on a program called TRANCE PLANET. If the name sounds familiar, it was used in the 1990s for a series of World Music compilations on the late Triloka Records label. Music is by TIM GERWING, FRORE & SHANE MORRIS, MICHEL BANABILA, ROBERT RICH, JON HASSELL, MA JA LE & VIR UNIS, and STILLPOINT.

Today's guest deejay is Alex Haas. I've been a fan of Alex's music since the last century. It feels strange to write that, but it's true. I discovered Alex on his Cypher 7 album, Decoder that he recorded with Jeff Bova. Decoder came in all all-back CD jewel case. Very mysterious and very sexy. Decoder was released on Strata, Bill Laswell's sub-label of Subharmonic Records, and that was all I needed to know in my decision-making process to purchase the album. I was not disappointed. Decoder was as mysterious and sexy as its CD case. The music was minimal, sinuous, and entrancing. I've been listening to Alex's music over the decades. When his album, The Woods, recorded with Michel Banabila and Bill Laswell, popped up on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, I immediately invited Alex to guest deejay on Soundwave. Alex's mix is exactly what I expected and delights with music from unexpected sources. You're in for a treat. Before I get out of here, I want to wish everyone happy holidays. I also encourage you to follow Genius and Soul on your favorite podcast app. Genius and Soul is a weekly show featuring jazz, Black classical music, and more, with mixes lovingly selected by our guest deejays. Our first guest deejay will be legendary composer, pianist, singer, and flautist Brian Jackson. Genius and Soul launches on January 1, 2022. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be iu takahashi. See you then!

The mystical, inward-facing order of Sufism goes back to the very beginning of the Islamic religion in the 8th century. It has parallels to the venerable traditions of Buddhist and Hindu mysticism, and aims for direct union with God by purifying the heart. The work of the Persian Sufi poet RUMI has achieved worldwide popularity for its beauty and insight, and a body of Sufi music evolved to accompany religious practices and meditation—most famously the "whirling dervishes" of the Mevlevi order in Turkey—creating a genre that's not only alive today, but producing new strains of spiritual music. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we revisit the contemplative heart of Middle Eastern music, on a program called 'SUFI SOUL 3.' Music by ZIKR PROJECT, DHAFER YOUSSEF, ANOUAR BRAHEM, ELIYAHU SILLS, ALEX KHASKIN, MICHEL BANABILA with MEMET POLAT, ÜMLAUT, & SALAR ASID, DEREK & BRANDON FIECHTER, ABE HATHOT, and PAUL AVGERINOS & OMAR FARUK TEKBILEK.

Y cayó la más oscura de las noches. Como cae el telón tras el último acto. Y las tinieblas se cernieron sobre el mundo. Y los fríos páramos quedaron yermos bajo la bruma. Desnudos y ateridos en la más absoluta indigencia. Las almas vagaron sin rumbo, a la deriva en la corriente, meciéndose en un agitado mar, ahogándose de prejuicios, naufragando en el abismo. Dolor y agonía de una orfandad súbita. El silencioso llanto desgarrador del eterno deambular en la oscuridad del alma. Débiles susurros que se lleva el viento. Los pasos cansados de recorrer una y mil veces el mismo camino polvoriento. La lucha por levantar el terrible peso de arrastrar una cruz que te doblega y te arroja contra el suelo en la extenuación de la noche más oscura. Música para descender a los abismos. Música para la Semana Santa. Haythem Mahbouli, Snowdrops, Ben Cooper, Christoffer Franzen, Salar Asid, Michel Banabila, Bruno Sanfilippo, Anoice, Lowercase Noises, Arvo Pärt, Clarice Jensen, Hakuna Group Music, Rhian Sheehan, Lorne Balfe, Simon Goff, Havasi, Wayne Robert Thomas, Isaac Helsen, Echo Collective, Valgeir Sigurðsson, Matt Maher.

When I first heard Christine Ott's Comma, I felt that this piece should be the starting point of a new mix. In the end, it became the final piece of the same mix - somewhat a movie's intro and end credits.I did not start this mix with a specific theme in mind. Its title only occurred to me after it was completed because it reflected its mood: a somewhat melancholy journey that fits the end of this remarkable year.

The traditions of sacred music and contemplative song are found in almost every culture on earth. They bring beauty, peace, and emotional fulfillment to millions. Since the mid 20th century, the sacred sounds of exotic world cultures have become increasingly popular with western listeners, even though they sound nothing like western sacred music. Despite our increasingly secular culture, sacred song maintains a special place in our holiday celebrations, and contemplative music provides a much-needed balm for battered spirits. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, deep song, devotional chant, sacred hymns, and contemplative instrumentals from Spain, the Middle East and India, on a program called SACRED SONGS 2. Music is by ADAM HURST, YUVAL RON & flamenco singer ESTRELLA MORENTE, MICHEL BANABILA, AZAM ALI & LOGA RAMIN TORKIAN, DEVA PREMAL, and SERENA GABRIEL & STEVE ROACH.

Solénoïde (20.01.2020) - Un retour express sur les moments forts du Solénoïde cru 2019 ! Cette année s'est révélée féconde en matière de productions musicales aventureuses; et pour cette rétrospective, nous avons sélectionné pas moins de 15 albums qui nous ont fait vibrer, parfois émerveiller, voire envoûter. Sachez d’ailleurs que notre casting vous fera plus que jamais voyager, allant de l’Iran à la Grèce, du Japon à la Turquie, en passant par la France et la Corée. Et évidemment, tout aussi éclectique sera sa trame instrumentale… Alors, entrez sans plus attendre dans le vif du sujet en parcourant ce Solénotop 2019 !

Séance Centre is a label, a publisher and a distributor of timeless music from the past, present and future. The trio behind the project (a musician, a filmmaker and a graphic designer) have teamed up to discover new and old records to publish through finding original vintage stocks of books, vinyls and cassettes or distributing music from labels and projects that they appreciate. Séance Centre is dedicated to taking their evangelical mission seriously, contextualising their releases with interviews, essays and photos of the musicians and the cultures that generate them. The key to their work, as they declare, is ‘Playing out of time'. The episode features: Shabason and Gunning, Organizatsiya, Short-Term Memory, Playdate, MJ Lallo, Vito Ricci, Massimo Del Corpo, A-TEAM, Michel Banabila, Joanne Forman, Oren Cantrell, Philip Sanderson and Playdate.

Solénoïde (24.06.2019) - Il y a quelques mois à peine, nous tombions sous le charme du premier album de PARK JIHA. Son second opus prolonge cet enchantement. Solénoïde vous offre un nouveau focus sur "Philos" dans lequel la multi-instrumentiste nous emmène dans des espaces sonores intimistes à la croisée de la tradition instrumentale coréenne et des musiques répétitives occidentales. Un album qui nous renvoie de la Corée l'image d'un paradis musical contemplatif. Un autre habitué de Solénoïde, l'infatigable MICHEL BANABILA revient avec "Uprooted", un nouvel album où 7 musiciens improvisent individuellement. A partir de ces enregistrements, il a créé ses propres compositions, des pièces atmosphériques polymorphes, fruit d'une habile interaction entre musique électronique, musique de chambre et free music. Et AL GROMER KHAN nous dévoile divers lieux qui ont marqué son existence, des lieux d'inspiration ou de révélation; dans "In High Places", il étoffe son style en opérant de subtiles variations autour des figures aériennes de son sitar.

De opera in Venetië begon met Monteverdi, maar werd een hit door Cavalli! Met in deze uitzending muziek van Marlies du Mosch, Francesco Cavalli, Michel Banabila, Celia Swart, Johann Georg Künstel en Thomas Newman.

Solénoïde (28.01.2019) - Cette semaine, l'équipage du Solénoïde jette un œil dans le rétroviseur de 2018 afin de vous faire revivre les temps forts de l'année musicale écoulée. Et bien que nous ne soyons pas très familiers des classements et autres top annuels, nous nous sommes prêtés avec plaisir à l'exercice. Nous avons ainsi retenu 15 albums, parfois inclassables, parfois aussi novateurs et souvent curieux; 15 albums qui pour certains auront constitué de pures découvertes, pour d'autres de belles confirmations. Des albums en forme de bande originale de films, films aussi bien réels qu'imaginaires, aptes à générer des plaisirs sonores insolites, poétiques, voire ésotériques.

Solénoïde (21.01.2019) - Immiscez-vous dans une brèche spatio-temporelle initiée par Laszlo Hortobagyi ! Le hongrois sonorise ses dernières lubies transculturelles en faisant la jonction entre arts vocaux de la renaissance italienne et science rythmique du monde hindouiste. Une aventure qui renforce la posture de Laszlo dans le champ des musiques world expérimentales. Testez aussi les bienfaits du dernier album de Michel Banabila ! Dans ‘Imprints’, ce résident de Rotterdam élabore des plages délicatement floutées et subtilement spatialisées, des morceaux ambient intégrant une dimension céleste voire cosmique. Enfin, le nouveau Kammerflimmer Kollektief mérite une attention toute particulière. Le trio allemand signe un manifeste atmosphérique slalomant habilement entre composition et improvisation. Aux confluents de l'ambient expérimental, du rock d'ascendance psychédélique et de la musique de film, cet album transportera tout adepte de trips sonores à la fois tortueux et sensibles...

This mix is especially created to celebrate the 25th release on Michel Banabila's Tapu Records (which will be released later this year). In this mix (in fact a follow up of "Streets, Dreams and Memories"), all tracks & samples are chosen from the Tapu Records catalogue and so it displays the versatility of Banabila's work - as solo artist as well as in collaboration with others. A limited edition (100) physical Audio CD with this mix will be included with every physical release order from Banabila's Bandcamp. Also, a VIDEO version (presenting the covers in sync with the mix, as well as including the impressive Geert Mul video for 'Crowds'), can be downloaded for free (link below).

Ever since I heard Banabila play a live set for VPRO's radio program Spleen (way back in 1983, mind you!), I have been addicted to his music. This particular track has remained one of my favourite over the years...although the sound quality slowly deteriorated because I had to copy it a few times from cassette to cassette to preserve it...(that's the reason it is not included in this mix). Looking back to the musical output of almost 30 years, Banabila's music is hard to categorize. He has released ambient music, as well as world fusion and sample jazz music ("Voiznoiz 3 - Urban Jazz  Scapes ", recorded with dutch jazz trumpeteer Eric Vloeimans was awarded an Edison in 2003). 
His tracks has been used in many theatre productions and television documentaries!
 
Banabila's music is very experimental at times, yet it conveys emotions one can easily relate to - and it is exactly that which makes him a unique musician...as well as one difficult to market because he cannot be 'pinpointed' to any contemporary style. When I started on this mix, at first I wanted to focus on the ambient music Banabila has created. But in fact that would not do him right, it would represent only a small part of all the music he created. This mix is not a 'Best of Banabila', neither is it a collection of personal favourites  (in that case it would be a lot longer!). Looking back on this mix, I see a painful amount of tracks-that-should also-have-been-included....
But it covers a lot of different aspects of Michel Banabila's musical world. 
A world built from "Streets, Dreams and Memories", waiting to be discovered by those with open ears.
