Sequences Podcast No 271 by

SEQUENCES No270 A brief update on the latest new names for this month’s first edition. On the modular front, Anders Jakobsen aims to create a balance between noisy and harmonious sounds. We are in a live session with Danielle Nia. Thierry Holwerk is using a Serge Modular Synth, paired with field samples recorded from his source of inspiration. Mansur’s sound journey navigates the realms of musical fantasy and reality, merging traditional instrumentation with contemporary electronica. Nettaiya is a groundbreaking New Age music project that fuses Eastern and Western influences into an ethereal sonic experience. Influences from Kraut Rock emerge on the track ‘Trippin With The Birds’, with Stereo Lab and Nurse With Wound contributing to this fusion. After switching labels to Groove, Otarion’s latest album release is undoubtedly his best yet, kicking off our session.

There’s a lot to absorb with this issue, and we recommend using headphones to fully appreciate the musical journey it offers. Its dark and light moods interplay fosters subdued effects, atmospheric nuances, and piano motifs that blend into rich textures, generating expansive sonic landscapes. These soundscapes can sometimes be minimalistic and serene, culminating in a dark sonic mass at the end of this three-hour excursion, suspended in timelessness and stasis.

SEQUENCES PODCAST no 268 Over the past month, we’ve been quite busy organising household storage following our return from Australia and assisting our daughter in relocating to a temporary rental while searching together for a permanent home. We encountered disappointment with one property we were close to purchasing due to serious issues discovered during the survey. Given the chaos, we had a limited time to compile a significant music collection for this month, adding more titles already scheduled for May. Thus, we opted to release two distinct editions of the electronic music genre together again. In this first edition, we present uptempo tracks, sequential compositions, symphonic pieces and more, highlighting the diverse aspects of these styles.

Our opening edition reflects a sombre tone within the lighter side of electronic music, venturing into ambient symphonic, down-tempo, and deeper, darker shades of ambient sounds. In light of his passing on February 15, 2025, we honour David Parsons with two tracks from “Yatra” and his final album, “Portal,” which provided a heartfelt sonic embodiment of the land and its people in the unique blend of Western technology and Eastern music.

Over the past six weeks, we’ve been thrilled to see an influx of exciting new promotions at Sequences!

Making their debut on our podcasts is flutist Liesbet, seamlessly blends with ambient guests and transports listeners into a sound and visual universe. For the first time since the EP was recorded in East Berlin over 40 years ago, the music of Martin Zeichnete, a disciple of Kosmische Muzik, can finally be heard. From The Sine label C37, an emotional downbeat album captures moments of love, loss and hope. Ambient producer from Finland Janne Hanhisuanto has described his work as spacious and cinematic. Rounding off with Matthew Labarge, whose orchestral mood unfolds like novels and yields new insights after many listens. 02.42 Kosmischer Läufer ‘Die Wei

Almost four years after *Rituals*, Levente’s new album *The Ray Bradbury Chronicles* takes inspiration from the legendary wordsmith and follows an “old-fashioned” approach to musical storytelling. Joining the ranks of labels that support Sequences, Other Side Audio showcases the esteemed artist Craig Padilla with *The Pulse Of Life*, a vast musical composition created on the Mattson Modular synthesiser and Xan Alexander’s *Qurorobos 2*, presenting syncopated rhythms and soundscapes that serve as a backdrop for rising and dancing melodies.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year. Our first edition for January features another diverse collection, including Kraut rock by the four-piece band Electric Orange and the re-release of Bloop’s 1999 album ‘Schallaufnahmen,’ performed by two members of that band, Dirk Jan Muller and Dirk Bittner. UK musician David Hughes, performing as ION, delivers a soundtrack to a no-budget student horror film titled ‘Perdition’s Flames,’ blending guitars and atmospheric synths. Our edited track from 1979 by Earthstar is taken from the album ‘French Skylines,’ produced by Klaus Schulze. As usual, we always like to give the female side exposure, with Brooklyn-based composer and producer Rachika Nayar, who has transitioned from the ghostly netherworlds of her debut to a vivid fluorescent cinematic maximalism, and Nadia Struiwigh, who echoes a free-spirited approach of electronic music in the mid-eighties, giving emotionally-charged ambience.

We are back after many weeks without a proper internet connection, which made it impossible to prepare new editions of Sequences. After spending time in several Airbnbs, I’m finally in rented accommodation which has a decent speed on Sky Full Fibre 150 broadband. In the past month, we have gathered a lot of new music to feature on our podcasts. We decided to offer you two editions: No 259 focusing on sequential, symphonic, modular, and Berlin School music and the other No 260 exploring dark and light ambient, cosmic, chill-out, and experimental genres.

This will be our final edition from Australia. As many of you may know, I will return to the UK on October 11th after spending ten years here. I am excited to rejoin the electronic music scene in Europe and the UK. The next few weeks will be quite busy for me: I will move into a short-term rental, purchase some wheels, and then search for a permanent home with my daughter and son-in-law. We plan to settle in North Devon, near my hometown of Bath.

Hello, everyone; thanks for tuning in. We’ve been asked a few times over the years why we don’t have podcasts dedicated to only one style of music, like Berlin School or ambient music, chill-out or New Age. Plenty of excellent mixes are available online. We’re here to introduce you to new sounds from electronic musicians worldwide. “Variety is the spice of life,” and that’s precisely what we aim to bring with the music we choose for each edition. You never know what will come up with new editions, showing an expanse of genres in our ongoing trip with humans and their machines.

For the first time on Sequences, Jesse James Allen’s “In Company Of Machines” is a dynamic, progressive new-age tapestry woven with traditional and synthesized instruments. Dino Pacifica recently acquired a Moog Matriarch synth and is a total newbie. His new release, “Musings of a Matriarch,” is a live improvised recording alone with that synth. International award-winning Australian electronic musician and composer Jim Ottaway is celebrating a significant milestone- the 20th anniversary of the release of his debut album “First Light.” Additionally, Ottaway is releasing a brand new album, “A Promise Of Eternity,” a melodic electronic wor
