  • Episode 3.36 // feat. Nova Loka & Trystaria

    In this episode of The STOLACE RELAY STATION, our theme choice takes us in the glowing light of the silver screen — ambient and neoclassical music that has either been inspired by motion picture soundtracks or could very well slide right into that role itself. Our feature artists on the program are Nova Loka from Melbourne, Australia and Trystaria from Massachusetts in the United States. Plus the music of Violeta Vicci, Henrik Meierkord, Gordon Harvey, Piotr Janeczek, Andrea Bacci, and William St. Hugh.

  • Episode 3.31 // feat. Deepriver & M. Cross Dougherty

    Next on The STOLACE RELAY STATION, we are focusing on the tactile qualities and spatial soundscapes of ambient music and the art of creating a rich environment for the listener. Our feature artists on the program are Deepriver, a collaborative project between artists from South Africa and Sweden, and M. Cross Dougherty from North Carolina in the United States. Plus the music of Trystaria, ILUITEQ, Kilometre Club, MIT, Entheogenic Sound Explorers, Craven Faults, and City of Dawn.
