The Void allows you to loose yourself in the endless voids of space... Built on a carpet of slightly distorted strings (for your information - the sound comes from Einstrürzende Neubauten’s “Ende Neu” CDrom version) there is a slow analogue bass loop that leads us through this meditative track. The tune works by using long and exactly set echoes on allmost all of it’s main sounds.  read more »

When I recorded this I thought that it sounds very good to me but that noone’ll like it. Oh, how wrong I was - I got *very* positive feedback on Der Klang which is, drummroll please, nothing more than *one* chord on the wavestation, played on a modulating sound. That creates a pulsating feeling which won’t let you go...

In other words: Pure, unrefined ambient! :)

Other than The Void, Ambient 01 actually features a grooving slow beat. I don’t know about you, but to me this tune says “onward... onward...” ;) In fact the original version of the tune was about twice as long as this “short edit”, but since this even for me seemed a *bit* long I did this second version.

When I first heard the works of Sarband, a choir which does mainly medieval music, I became an addict at once. By using this loop from one of their tracks I bow before their works.  read more »

“subwaves, travelling deep space / radiowaves / transmitting signals”

I assume that one can say Subwaves was heavily influenced by Biosphere’s The Shield - a low, sweeping bass, tranquilizing spoken words with no real meaning (even though I *didn’t* use the computer voice from 2010), floating around...  read more »

The Abyss is sounds. Analogue fx, twisted knobs and defenitely no structure at all. Deeper, deeper and deeper into the darkness...

When I listen to it now it somehow sounds to me like an electronic version of the music in the final travelling sequence of 2001 - a space odyssey. But in this case it’s purely coincidential.

The end of this radio program for today.

“There were some evenings when Cmdr.Kruge, after his shift, would go down to the engine room to spend some time just sitting down on the floor and relaxing, while looking at the fluid antimatter pulsating up and down in the ship’s energy-core. Just like a lava lamp.....”  read more »

“Even when the shadow of the Eclypse moved over the body of the Space shuttle the astronauts continued their work, running their experiments in the spacelab.”

Hmmm... this one’s a bit hard to define, I’d say, that it’s a bit drum’n’bass-ish, but judge for yourself. It is the result of some early tries with sampled drumloops... Stay tuned for more of this stuff.

“During the Eclypse, the Hubble-telescope, usually scanning the stars out there, was pointed inwards to get a better look.....”

That’s a really good one too... Following the style of LFO’s Tied Up, Hubble creates it’s own dynamic by pointing out the discrepancies of the troubles of modern life... Naaaw, it’s simply cool, but it really sounds a bit like Tied Up ;-)...

“No commentary.....”

You could call Phase IV the bonus track of Eclypse, since it’s actually a remastered track from... 4 or five years ago... Hmmm... It’s building abound some silly sounds and a monotonous bassline, but ... I don’t know, I just like it... :)

For Sake is a funny little tune. I find it hard to put it into a speciffic genre, maybe a bit Drum&Bass-ish. Initially it was written for a CD with add-on-levels for the game Forsaken (hence the name), but that project never was finished.  read more »
