SOLENOÏDE, émission de 'musiques imaginogènes' diffusée sur 30 radios dans le monde
Solénoïde (17.03.2025) - Imaginez l'immensité des forêts suédoises, le silence suspendu entre les arbres enneigés, la lumière rasante du Nord, l'écho des rivières qui serpentent entre fjords et vallées. C'est dans cet espace à la fois vaste et intime que s'inscrit la musique d'Henrik Meierkord, un compositeur qui sculpte le son comme le vent modèle les paysages. Pour Solénoïde, il a conçu un mix exclusif, dans lequel il convoque Max Richter, Biosphere, Bing and Ruth, ou encore Ossler, avant de glisser ses propres pièces inédites, dont Kontracellodrone I, à paraître sur Projekt Records en août prochain. En conclusion ? Une touche inattendue avec les Beatles, comme un pont entre passé et avenir, entre mémoire et invention. Prêts pour une immersion dans les paysages sonores nordiques ? Branchez-vous et laissez-vous emporter…
La darkwave est un genre musical alternatif né à la croisée des années 1980 et 1990, ancré dans le mouvement gothique et post-punk tout en s'en distinguant par une approche plus introspective et diversifiée. Elle se définit comme une exploration sonore et émotionnelle, transcendant les limites des genres traditionnels en intégrant des éléments variés tels que l'ambient, le shoegaze, le folk et des influences ethniques ou tribales. La darkwave apparaît à un moment où la scène gothique, en se standardisant, perd une partie de son avant-gardisme. Ce genre émerge alors comme une réponse à ce manque de renouvellement, porté par des artistes cherchant à enrichir le langage musical gothique. Ils y insufflent une dimension poétique et contemplative, souvent déconnectée des codes de provocation visuelle ou sonore. Issus majoritairement de labels indépendants, ces artistes privilégient une liberté créative totale, donnant naissance à une scène profondément sincère et artisanale. La darkwave se distingue par des atmosphères sombres, mélancoliques et hypnotiques. Les guitares, traitées avec des effets comme la réverbération et le delay, jouent un rôle textural, créant une profondeur sonore unique. Les claviers, omniprésents, ajoutent une dimension onirique et introspective, évoquant des paysages sonores vastes et enveloppants. La basse, souvent au cœur des genres gothique et post-punk, laisse parfois place à des instruments comme les pianos, violons ou percussions tribales. Les rythmes minimalistes renforcent l'ambiance sans dominer la composition. La voix occupe une place centrale dans la darkwave. Les chanteuses, avec des interprétations expressives et envoûtantes, marquent le genre, tandis que les voix masculines, plus rares, apportent des tonalités graves et murmurées, renforçant une aura de mystère. Des effets comme l'écho ou la distorsion participent à l'atmosphère intemporelle propre à la darkwave. Les thématiques explorées dans la darkwave sont profondément introspectives, abordant l'amour, la perte, la solitude, l'espoir fragile ou une quête spirituelle. Contrairement au gothique plus théâtral, la poésie des textes est subtile et riche en symbolismes complexes. Visuellement, la darkwave opte pour une esthétique discrète et raffinée, loin des flamboyances gothiques. Les concerts, souvent immersifs, privilégient des ambiances tamisées et des jeux de lumière minimalistes, créant des expériences sensorielles oniriques. Évoluant en marge des courants musicaux dominants, la darkwave est étroitement liée à des labels indépendants comme 4AD, Projekt Records, ou encore des scènes locales européennes en Allemagne et aux Pays-Bas. Ces structures offrent aux artistes une liberté totale, favorisant une production artisanale où chaque détail, sonore ou visuel, contribue à un univers cohérent et immersif. Cette indépendance confère au genre une profondeur et une intemporalité qui continuent de séduire une audience fidèle. La darkwave est bien plus qu'un simple genre musical. Elle incarne une esthétique globale et un voyage sonore où mélancolie, introspection et poésie se mêlent pour offrir des expériences uniques. Ce courant reste une référence incontournable pour les amateurs d'explorations musicales authentiques et profondes.

The season's bells were ringing for us to cover the classic Projekt Records compilation "Excelsis: A Dark Noel." The original dark Christmas comp, it ranges from ambient and abstraction to more traditional takes on holiday classics. Fill your cups with eggnog and enjoy the seasonal darkness. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss other albums and bands we tend to listen to in the early winter.
Greetings! Lots of cool things this week with a focus on Ian Power's new release, "Ave Maria: Variations on a Theme by Giacinto Scelsi" which I felt could not be done justice by only playing a portion of it. It's a fascinating look at how the briefest of melodies can be interpreted and re-interpreted in order to take on the melody from different perspectives. In addition, we'll check out new releases from William Susman, Homebrewed Universe, The Owl, Joseph Bohgian and the Thin Edge New Music New Music Collective w/ Linda Caitlin Smith together w/ some older goodies.

Projekt Records present's Italy's DELREI. Alessandro Mercanzin imagines a visionary dystopia where a solitary figure navigates an inhospitable post-nuclear desert. It's a hypnotic land of cold haunted nights, lonely red vistas and somber personal solitude."Desolation and Radiation" is Produced by Maurizio Baggio (recently producing Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, & Nuovo Testamento) The adventurous sound of the album is coaxed from various guitars, vintage instruments, reverbs, and the marranzanu (a traditional Sicilian harp.) Mercanzin plays most of the instruments and is augmented by Maurizio's vintage synths and old 60s organs, Michele Tedesco's trumpets on "Nowhere to Ride," and Stefano Miozzo's pedal steel guitar on "Far from Here.” https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/desolation-and-radiationhttp://www.projekt.comhttps://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturnaListen : http://modsnapradio.comQUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna Every Saturday on ModSnap Radio�KMOD: San Antonio�2pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST)#modsnapradio #postpunk #goth #darkwave #DJNocturna #delrei #AlessandroMercanzin #ProjektRecords
Portland-based PROJEKT RECORDS home to Thanatos, Steve Roach, Aurelio Voltaire, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Lycia, Erik Wøllo and many more, celebrates PROJEKT RECORDS' 40TH ANNIVERSARY. Over the years, a two-genre approach has consistently covered both the electronic/ambient and goth/darkwave realms. Projekt's noteworthy and boundary-pushing darkwave acts established the label in the 90's as the American counterpart to England's famed 4AD. Lycia, Love Spirals Downwards, Lovesliescrushing and the aforementioned Black Tape For A Blue Girl each pioneered their own unique Darkwave sound. During the label's heyday in the dark genres from 1992-1997, Lycia toured withType O Negative, counting Peter Steele as one of the label's biggest fans. Voltaire's 1998 Projekt debut, The Devil's Bris remains a classic of the genre. Projekt released more than 75 Steve Roach titles (two were even Grammy-nominated), is reissuing Michael Stearns' classic catalog, and released an LP of 1995's beloved dark Christmas album Excelsis which warranted multiple sequels, Unto Ashes & Thanatos continue to release new music as well. With over 67 million tracks streamed in 2022, their roster grows with a biweekly schedule of new and classic titles adding to the 650+ albums. I spoke to musician, composer and founder SAM ROSENTHAL and SHEA HOVEY (Projekt's dedicated and long time Promotion Assistant )who also has helped Projekt thrive throughout the decades where so many other labels have perished. To this day Projekt continues to nurture the careers of its highly select roster of artists.

When you were in high school what did you want to be when you grew up? Were the seeds planted for what you eventually would be doing, or did you take a completely different path? Today my guest and I are going to look back at 40 years and compare experiences. Way back in the 70's and 80's, when I was growing up in South Florida, I went to school with a lot of the same kids from elementary school through high school. Sam Rosenthal was one of those kids and I thought it would be fun to check in with him ( 40 years later) and ask him what his perspective is on life. I thought he was a pretty cool guy back then and I'm happy to report he still is. Listen in and see where life took both of us.

I’ve been enjoying the work of theAdelaidean for some time, but when his record focused on sleep, with a longform track, from Projekt Records came across my desk, I knew I had to feature it on the Ambient Soundbath Podcast for all of you to enjoy. One thing that I really love about the mix…Read more Ambient Soundbath Podcast #109 – Featuring theAdelaidean: In the Key of Sleep
Today's guest deejay is Sam Rosenthal. I invited Sam to guest deejay on Soundwave because he is the founder of Projekt Records. I didn't ask Sam because Projekt explores genres of music I love, such as ambient, darkwave, and goth, although that's part of it. No, it's because Sam has been running Projekt and releasing breathtaking music for nearly 40 years! For a lot of us, Projekt has become an institution. It feels like it's always been a part of our lives. Incredibly, I've been listening to music released by Projekt for nearly half my life. Sam's Black Tape for a Blue Girl has always been a favorite. Steve Roach, of course, who makes an appearance on today's mix. And I've been listening to Anji Bee and Ryan Lum's Lovespirals for years. And so many compilation albums. I fully expect Sam will be releasing more music from Projekt well into the middle of the 21st century. And Sam will be the house deejay at my funeral. Wow, that got dark. Sam, I hope you took that in the spirit that was intended. Sam has some words about his mix below. Join us next week when our guest deejay will be DJ Bulut. See you then. I put together a mix of tracks selected from the 600+ electronic/ambient/drone albums released on Projekt over the last 39 years (founded in 1983!) Three are my collaborations with label artists; for the other four, rather than selecting “hits” I programmed deep tracks that I quite enjoy. With over 50 releases on Projekt in 2022 there is an abundance of wonderful music to chose from. My intention for Soundwave was to create an hour flow of the mood of Projekt — an exploration and overview for listeners discovering the label for the first time. Sam Rosenthal & Projekt Artists “the Alabaster reliquary of glittering ashes” Steve Roach “In the Eye of Noche Compressed” theAdelaidean & deepspace “Star Cradle” Sam Rosenthal / jarguna “Evening market of the petal fields > part 3” Forrest Fang “In Air, It Seems” Lorenzo Montanà “Between Worlds” jarguna “Return to the Paganism” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/soundwavemix/message
Peter van Cooten runs the excellent Ambientblog website which has great reviews and, of course, wonderful mixes. Anytime Peter reaches out with a mix idea or a a set he'd like to cross-post on both of our platforms, I will always jump at the chance. As I said on Peter's last guest mix, his sets are different from mine in that they are more intricate. He does not use full tracks, instead opting for excerpts and samples piled on each other, sometimes 2, 3, or 4 tracks play simultaneously, to create a new sound collage. Here's what Peter says about this mix: "Apart from its opening sample – ‘It is time to stop seeing. It is time to stop speaking. It is time to listen', from David Cronenberg's Crimes Of the Future – this mix has no central theme or story. It's up to you, the listener to take the time to listen and go with the flow. Let your fantasy tell you the story. And, after you did, I'd love to hear what you heard. This mix is created using many fragments and samples from longer pieces of music, often presented in multiple layers. Check the original compositions using the tracklist below." Here's a map of the mix, layer upon layer of the 31 tracks used in the collage. Check out Peter's work here: https://www.ambientblog.net/blog/ He also does surround sound mixes, which you can find here: https://www.ambientblog.net/blog/the-surround-mix-versions/ And Peter is on Mixcloud - https://www.mixcloud.com/ambientblog/ Cheers!

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...
We were thrilled to have Sam Rosenthal of Projekt Records, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, and more join us to head down atmospheric dark ambient branches. Sam has been operating since the early 80s and shares his thoughts on his own work, the artists that were part of the label, and how the music landscape has changed. An insightful history shadowy world of Projekt Records.
The Cleft Serpent is the 13th album of Black Tape For A Blue Girl. The two-CD edition which is also available on vinyl, minidisc, cassette and digital format is one of Projekt Records' ' founder Sam Rosenthal's latest production. Black Tape For A Blue Girl began over thirty years ago by Rosenthal's exploration of brooding extended electronics and strings meshed with deeply revealing lyrics and darkly textured, melodramatic vocal performances. The ethereal, gothic and dark ambient stylings has made the band one of the originators of the American darkwave genre. Rosenthal's pensive electronics and revelatory songwriting has made fans of director David Lynch, former adult actress Sasha Grey, writers Poppy Z. Brite and Caitlín Rebekah Kiernan, just to name a few.The latest album weaves the tale of the enigmatic Cleft Serpent, as we follow him through time and space within a lush, dark and sensual musical palette of string-hued Neo-Classicism. It's rich and engaging, created by our three-piece ensemble featuring new members, Jon DeRosa's powerful vocals and Henrik Meierkord's mournful cello strings twined around Rosenthal's somber electronics. https://www.projekt.comhttps://blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.comSubscribe to my monthly mailing list for the latest music news, updates and my next interviews and events:http://eepurl.com/gtw6PPQUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna Every Saturday on MODSNAP Alternative RadioKMOD: San AntonioListen : http://modsnapradio.comPlaylist and podcast: https://djnocturna.com3pm to 5pm (HST/Hawaii Standard Time)5pm to 7pm (PST/Pacific Standard Time)6pm to 8pm (MST/ Mountain Standard Time)7pm to 9pm (CST/Central Standard Time)8pm to 10pm (EST/Eastern Standard Time
Thanatos began as a studio project between founder Patrick Ogle and Projekt record label founder Sam Rosenthal in the mid 80s in South Florida. They recorded together in 1993 THIS ENDLESS NIGHT INSIDE and 1995's AN EMBASSY TO GAIUS. After that, Rosenthal focused on Projekt Records, while Ogle toured and recorded additional Thanatos albums with a full band. Ogle released a full length album called “Covered Country” on November 26, 2021 featuring the lead single and video “Seminole Wind” originally by John Anderson. Ogle selected nine classic country tunes to deliver with just a mic-ed up parlor guitar and his bare-bones baritone vocals. This is “country” music performed by an artist often described as “goth.” You'd be hard-pressed to tell though, because these stark untreated renditions capture the passion of these songs defying genre classifications.https://www.thanatos.bizhttps://www.projekt.com

Multi-instrumentalist and primary songwriter and producer of the neo-psychedelic post punk band Trance to the Sun, Ashkelon Sain said the spirit of "Trance To The Sun" began in 1990. He said, “Our music is for the nocturnal environment, delivered in a trance-like state, made possible by the wealth of energy dealt to earth in the daytime by the sun.” The band released several albums, EPs, cassettes, CDs and compilations. Trance to the Sun has featured three full time vocalists: Zoe Wakefield, Dawn Wagner and Ingrid Blue. The band's recordings also included drummer Daniel Henderson and other guest musicians. One of his collaborative works include two albums (Atlan and Eztica) with Tuvan throat singer, Soriah on Projekt Records which is described as a "shamanistic ritual art experience, one that documents Soriah's explorations into his own ethnicity and heritage, amplified by the amazing soundscapes of Trance to the Sun guitarist Ashkelon Sain. This is the kind of musical spiritual journey that most others simply aspire to." https://www.projekt.comSain's latest project, Trance To The Moon is a collaboration with vocalist Monet Alarie. Check out the video "Except in Dreams." "Trance to the Moon" currently has two EPs Except in Dreams and Fire Within Glass and a forthcoming album to be released in early 2022. https://trancetothesun.bandcamp.comYou can also watch this video on my YouTube channel.

What have we been doing this year? Other than teaching through lockdown, eating too much chocolate, drinking moscato, and yapping away on this podcast... In this episode we get to catch up on the Word Docs' latest projects, which involve a theatre/film project which is not a porno (but does feature a dominatrix), music made in the Hall of Possibility, and more pseudonyms for the woman who has everything. What other writers do you know who can get kidnapped by pirates on their way to a writing gig? Like, for real. Not in their imaginations. And what other academics do you know who are willing to dish the dirt on what it's really like to be a working writer? Fine, lots of them. But how many of them also make ambient music? One. Sean. Well done, Sean. He's reason enough to listen to this podcast - especially if you're smart enough to listen all the way to the end. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SOLENOÏDE, émission de 'musiques imaginogènes' diffusée sur 30 radios dans le monde
Solénoïde (11.03.2019) - Le nouvel album de Forrest Fang fait partie de ces pépites rares de musique atmosphérique hybride et sophistiquée. Sur "The Fata Morgana Dream", le californien nous offre la possible bande-son d'un rêve éveillé, aux limites du minimalisme contemporain et de l'ambient ethnique. Cet opus, aux effluves naturalistes et extrêmes-orientales, a été désigné 'radiobalisage'. Valeur montante de la scène techno-dub internationale, le grec Jay Glass Dubs propose avec son nouvel opus "Epitaph" une odyssée sonique constellée d'effets et d'échos cybernétiques. Tandis que la danoise Marylin Mazur, figure culte de la scène jazz contemporaine, a réuni autour d'elle dix musiciennes scandinaves pour signer une partition détonante intitulée "Shamania". Un projet qui couvre une large palette d'expressions allant du jazz vocal au free-jazz, en passant par les musiques nouvelles et la pop arty.
This week we chat with Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape for a Blue Girl and Projekt Records about his perspective on the scene during the 90’s, the state of the music industry, his philosophy on the meaning of life and a lot more! Check out his Patreon page here!
Thom sits down with Soriah, a Tuvan Throat Singer who has played with an incredibly diverse group of folks, including Rob Wynia of Floater and David J from Bauhaus. The name “Soriah” is a spirit suit worn for performance: A state of trance and gnosis that he gets into during his performances. We both agreed that the feeling from performing music had the potential to become “spiritual” in the sense that there are few words that can describe the feeling it brings. We learn that his father was part of Los Sputniks, a mexican rock band that was popular in Mexico City during the mid-60’s, so music always played a part in Soriah’s life. We also learn how Jets and Airplane noises played a part as well. Soriah was exposed to Tuvan Throat Singing from a mix CD given to him by a friend. He then developed this passion the ended up with him meeting and learning from Tuvan throat singer and eventually a trip to Tuva was in order. Soriah also created a record with Daniel Riddle at Mazinga Studios. Soriah tells us about what Tuva is like and some interesting history and stories of the Tuvan folks. Enjoy this really great interview with a passionate and talented musician.
