A night of just plain great ambient music!  Two long players, several short players, and all of it outstanding music.  Plus a live performance by myself.  I had a great time and hope you enjoyed the show as well.

Hope to see you next week!

0010265649_10We had a great show tonight, focusing on the wonderful space music of K.Markov.  Folks in the chat room had a great time talking about the music, about cats playing synthesizers, and the virtues of carbon-fiber electric guitars.

Here are the tracks I played and links to the artist’s albums on Bandcamp where you can get copies of your own.  I highly encourage you to check out his albums; they are very reasonably priced and contain some of the best Berlin school space music I’ve heard.

Hope to see you next week!

On the next BWDD: a focus on K.Markov

0010265649_10Boy, I’m excited about this.  One thing I’ve wanted to do since restarting my radio program is to do a show dedicated solely to Berlin school space music.  In fact, if you haven’t noticed, my ambient train wrecks are taking on a more sequencey vibe, as I am trying to evolve my own music in that direction.

Well, when I go looking for good space music, I go to Chuck van Zyl’s wonderful Star’s End program, every Saturday evening, and listen to hours upon hours of nothing but space music, with all the sequencer goodness I could ever want.

avatars-000061020142-sxbts9-t500x500As I listen to Star’s End, when I hear something I particularly like, I look up and note the name.  Hmmm.  K.Markov.  Scribble scribble.  Back to the music …. and … oh, that’s nice too …. oh it’s K.Markov again.  Scribble scribble.  After about four iterations of this across multiple weeks, I realized that I need to do a program on his evocative space music.

So it will be my great pleasure this week to present the music of K.Markov, a trip through Berlin-infused space that I think you will love.  Hope to see you then!

The show starts Friday November 17th at 7 PM Pacific Standard Time / 10 PM Eastern Standard Time (which is 3 AM UTC on November 18th).  If you tune in, be sure to stop by the chat room and say hello … we’d all love to see you.
