ambient

Last week’s Undomondo Radio Show #87 – A tribute to Nursel Kaymaz a friend we lost at the ripe age of 32.

#86 – Dreamy electronic music + ambient soundscapes from Can. Mojib, Seaworthy, Pole, Color Cassette etc.

Not to be mixed with Bibio from Warp, Biblo (trinket) is Istanbul’s own wonderwoman Pinar Süt, member of Proudpilot, best upcoming band from Istanbul.

#85 is a solo work by yours truly. It’s darker than our usual sets thanks to my turbulent mood. It’ll work good as soundtrack to an urban night drive. Motorik by Beak>, doom jazz by Mini Pops Junior, moody indie rock and even some dubstep at the final. A dark cinematic ride to nowhere. Enjoy!

Best of 2009 selected by yours truly. Including Real Estate, In the Country, Bill Callahan, Ducktails, Steve Lehman, Celer, Ahleuchatistas, King Midas Sound, Om, Black Cobra, Vijay Iyer Trio etc.

Making a best of list has been considerably harder for 2009. Here are our mentions in random order. Fedayi Pacha, Bibio, Wye Oak, Liechtenstein, BLK JKS, Crystal Antlers, Proudpilot, Yagya, The XX, OPN..

One of the meatiest twitter streams I follow is that of digital composer Stephan Mathieu. His feed is always chock full of quality be it from him or otherwise. Video excerpt of his Virginals set at Steirischer Herbst is stunning, and so is his earlier Crónica selection “On the Concept of History“.

Two prolific names from the experimental electro-acoustic scene Peter Broderick & Machinefabriek has just released Blank Grey Canvas Sky on the Swedish Fang Bomb label. Spanning 6 songs and 43 minutes Blank Grey Canvas Sky is a meticulous embroidery of pianos, instrumentation and drones.
