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 today's program we're starting out the month of December with some really cool sets, exploring various textured and resonant ambient pieces, along with a healthy dip into the more experimental side of ambient music. We'll be featuring two new albums on the program that are worth mentioning — new music from the incomparable Taylor Deupree who continues to maintain a high bar in the more experimental side of ambient music, and a new album from EJRM on the Imaginary North label that is perfect for offering up a distraction-free environment to help you focus and maintain a calm state of being. Plus new music from Ah! Kosmos & Hainbach, Lunar Ipona, Stray Theories, SineRider and many more.... Strap in and make yourself comfortable, join us for the next two hours for global ambient music, on The Stolace Relay Station.
