We have complete archives of The Relay Station programming going all the way back to the start of Season 3. Listen to previous broadcasts, find artist information, and playlists containing all the tracks that we've played over the years.
In this program, we're stepping into the imaginative worlds of two vastly different ends of the ambient continuum. My first featured artist is composer, musician, and puppeteer Tristan Allen who has a dream-like experience in store for us with their mixed disciplinary release "Osni the Flare"; and later in the program Alison DeVille of XII Sound gives us a guided audio tour of London's Underground with her highly skilled and cleverly edited field recording-based album "Tube V".
In this program, I have two new albums from artists that I cannot stop raving about, and simply cannot get enough of. My first featured artist is Yorkshire-based electronic musician Craven Faults with an inspired album that masterfully reflects the post-industrial landscape of northern England; and later on in the program Rotating Tapes is back with his third full-length album, and it's positively sublime from start to finish.
In this program, I've got the new album from Japanese pianist and composer Marika Takaeuchi and her memorable neoclassical expressions of loss and wonder woven throughout her new six song LP "Iridescence", and Norwegian independent ambient artist Lunar Ipona graces our presence with his new expressive album "Fragments", serving as a fantastic introduction to this new and emerging ambient artist.
In this program, we're giving a little extra love to analog synthesizers, and my two featured artists have got the ticket to our analog bliss. First up in the program, Grant Beasley from the United Kingdom has a new record out on Cyclical Dreams that has blown my mind and transported me to distant worlds with his new release "The Vanishing Point", and Moscow-based artist Chronos takes us on a guided tour of his impressive analog and digital synthesizer museum with a stunning live performance captured in his album "Synthesizer Museum Live".
In this program, we'll be representing two very experiential expressions of ambient music with our two featured artists. Spanish ambient artist David Cordero illuminates the first half of the program with his meditatively slow blooms of warm sound from his new release "Numen", and the dynamic duo that is CoH and Wladimir Schall take us to deeply experimental territory with their amalgamation of neoclassical music and avant-garde sound design with their homage to Erik Satie and John Everall from their album "COVERS".
In this program, both of my featured artists have captivating, tranquil albums that are calming through and through. My first featured artist is Taylor Swindells of Neighborhood Libraries — who is no stranger to the program — he treats us to an entrancing and serene listening experience with his new album "In Our Wake"; and later in the program making his WhiteLabRecs debut, Adrian Newton of the ambient project Mosaicist has a new album that quite masterfully captures that feeling of sitting amidst a foggy landscape and watching the long, slow reveal.
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.
