In this program, my two featured artists both bring us to unique spaces for reflection, to stop and savor this moment. My first featured artist is s28, who is going to take us on a trek through the thin-aired alpine range with his breath-taking new album "The Plains Behind Us"; and later in the program French composer Wilson Trouvé has a heart-warming five song EP perfect for a moment to put life on pause.

In this program I will be showcasing two deeply contemplative releases that reward the concentrated and devoted listener with ever-unfolding layers of mystique and texture-rich beauty. First up, Rafael Anton Irisarri has a new album born out of improvisational sessions in a former Dutch psychiatric prison, reflecting on our supposedly connected digital age; and later in the program Nairobi-born electronic artist and sound designer KMRU is back with his second release on the electronic music label Editions Mego sporting an album that explores a more noisier palette of sound in homage to the distorted guitar playing of his more formative years.

In this program I have two absolutely spell-binding releases that we'll be showcasing on the program that you simply cannot pass up. First up is Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith hot on the heels of her acclaimed album "Gush" from Nettwerk Music Group, an EP that is by stark contrast a contemplative space for you to be immersed in amazing layers of analog synthesis and a re-imagination of chamber music personified in her work; and later in the program New Zealand-based artist Stray Theories takes us for an epic ride with his transcendent amalgamation of ambient, neoclassical, and post-rock influences — an album that straddles opposing dichotomies in his massive vistas of sound, released through n5md Records.

In this episode of The Relay Station, there are two albums that are essential listens, each with their own unique approach to textured layers, wide vistas of sound, and intriguing sonic spaces for reflection. My first featured artist is the incomparable Silence and the Unwinking Minds with new music from their album Emulsion — an ambient experience that's made my essentials list; and later on in the program Ed Herbers with the first in a series of four ambient albums exploring the four seasons — a fantastic listening experience with his gorgeous and innovative approach to ambient music composition.

In this program we'll be celebrating Robert Rich and two of his recent transcendent collaborations, demonstrating the prolific nature and vast spectrum of Robert's ability to dive head-first into the creative space with other artists. The first collab we'll be featuring is with Barry Cleveland, taking us through an enrapturing musical journey made up of a complexly woven tapestry of sonic ideas that ranges from the quiet and contemplative to dramatic and near-cataclysmic spaces. Then later on in the program we will drop in on the incubative space that Robert created with musician and composer Markus Reuter — with an album that is contemplative, at times near unsettling, and an alchemic journey through the blending of two minds and two lived experiences. Plus up ahead, new music from Andrew Lozano, Christian Alsemgeest and Metric System 1981, Beyond Sensory Experience and more. Strap in and make yourself comfortable, join us for the next hour for global ambient music, on The Relay Station.

In this program I’ve got two vastly different, but emotive tracks that I think you’re going to absolutely love. Eighteen-year-old pianist and composer Alanna Crouch has a moving four-song EP that is somber, delicately ornate, and unconditionally gorgeous. And the duo Chris Wood and Albert Sapsford have a new album out that is quite imaginative, deeply experimental, and sets a liminal atmosphere for the imagination. Plus up ahead, new music from Atmøsphäre & Dionisaf, BinJa, Adrian Lane, Ambiente Solstice, and more.

In this program I'm giving you a taste of what's in store for the upcoming new season of The Relay Station, a sort of holiday stocking stuffer for your inbox with some delightful sonic treats for this wintry season. I have two featured artists on the program that both defy stylistic boundaries and have tracks that bring a different sentiment for the holiday season. My first featured artist is Clarice Jensen who has a unique take on the neoclassical genre, introducing looped cello with a variety of effect pedals to produce a mesmerizing work. And Louis Gardner's ambient-inspired lo-fi folk has me absolutely enamored — enough to break my own rules of no music with sung vocals on the program, and share with you an enchanting and deeply pensive track. Plus up ahead, new music from Ed Herbers, Twilight Sleep, Paul Beaudoin, City of Dawn and more. Strap in and make yourself comfortable, join us for the next hour for global ambient music, on The Relay Station.

My two featured albums today are both fantastic expressions of different facets of ambient music. In the first hour the entrancing collaboration between KapTep and Sebby Kowal out now on Ambient Cat Records that is calming through and through, plus later on in the program brand new music from Benoît Pioulard that has me all jazzed up about the sweet new vinyl and the even sweeter tones and textures on the new album. Plus up ahead, I’ve got new music from JARR, Philamelian + Elif Yalvaç, Leafblighter and so much more.
