Nosnibor Ambient

Marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Berlin Wall of Sound is an acoustic reconstruction of the Berlin Wall. 
Its duration of 7:32 minutes reflects the time sound needs to travel the 
155 kilometres length of the Berlin Wall. Its sound wave’s shape mirrors 
the wall of concrete and its watchtowers. There are no comments – 
the tags depict the victims and mark where they were killed.
 
The Wall of Sound is not easy to bear. But 27 years locked behind 
the concrete Berlin Wall were unbearable.
 
Back in 1989, SoundCloud’s headquarters would have been part of 
the Death Zone next to the Berlin Wall. We dedicate the Wall of Sound 
to the 120 women, men and children, who lost their lives in their 
attempt to live in freedom. We will not forget.

Major original quotes used:

Walter Ulbricht (former leader of the GDR and responsible for the construction) saying a few days before the construction started: „Nobody has the intention to raise a wall“ 

Heinz Hoffmann (former GDR secretary of defense): „To those, who don’t respect our border – they will feel the bullet.“

Erich Honecker (longtime and most powerful leader of the GDR) celebrating 
40 Years of the GDR in 1989: „The German Democratic Republic will exist another 40 years and beyond.“

Loscil Tribute Live Mixed by Fingers in the Noise

It's almost ludacris to think that Slam, the Glaswegian techno duo from the North have been producing and releasing records for almost thirty years now. Throughout that time they have been involved in the formation of the Soma label, the imprint which released the earliest Daft Punk records, music from Surgeon, Funk D'Void and many many more. Slam's influence as a duo has been prolific and they are appreciated and respected across the world as much as they are in their hometown. Stepping up to the table with something a little outside the norm, we put the pair through their paces as they contribute an all ambient mix to our Monday series which sees them delve deep through the relams of Global Communication and beyond. This one is pretty special.

We at Watch The Hype have been transfixed with James Murray's soothing, eloquent music for a number of years now.

Second part of my podcast series called " Quantum Space "

Podcast

Owl - Quantum Space #2

Welcome to the 33th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics.
This monthly released podcast brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. This months session is created by Kraut Sounds.

About the mix:
My interest in ambient music started in the early 90ies with the first releases of Chicago’s Kranky Label e.g. Labradford and later on Pan American and Loscil from Canada (still one of my all-time favs). In paralled I discovered old German Kraut Electronic stuff from the 70ies which opened a complete new world of sound and is still a great inspiration for my own recordings.
Since I’m into making music I like working with deep and minimal sounds, (sub)sonic textures and free-form experiments which creates certain moods and feelings.

I believe that ambient music needs and deserves time to listen to in order to display it’s beauty and depths. When everything’s gently flowing it’s peace of mind.
In this mix I put together some of my recent favs including a couple of older tracks because ambient music is timeless. Enjoy (and please support the artists).

01. SVLBRD – Tundra [Faint]

Today we are featuring a Headphone Commute mix by James Heather, who has recently appeared on our pages with his beautiful solo piano album.

"For this Headphone Commute mix I decided to focus mostly on the ambient for the first time. It’s filled with mainly new discoveries and a few old tracks that have never quite left my ears. The theme is peace. I have recently been fascinated by books and documentaries about a woman named Mildred Lisette Norman, from her 40’s she became a spiritual teacher, mystic, pacifist and activist. She renamed herself ‘Peace Pilgrim’ and proceeded to walk non-stop for the next 28 years, somewhat idealistically but admirably she vowed to “remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace.” Her words can be heard at various points in the mix."

For a full track listing and a download of a higher bitrate MP3, please stop by headphonecommute.com and subscribe to our podcast!
And as always, please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists!

Campfire Stories 35 (Hidden Woods) by @OWLDUB

~ About The Story ~

The woods are never solitary-- they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce its infinite mystery--we may only wander, awed and spellbound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only--a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.
― LM Montgomery

Campfire Stories 35 (Hidden Woods) by OWL

Welcome to the 41th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics.
It's the first sunday of Februaryand that means a brand new Ambient Sessions!
This monthly released podcast brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. This months session is created by Nigh/T\mare

Bio : Giuseppe Sciretti aka Nigh/T\mare is an Italian dj & producer (born in March 1995) and based in Foggia (IT).
Nigh/T\mare productions hide behind an Experiment that lay between Techno & Ambient, with a very deep concept made of music and nightmares.Tribal percussions, meditative choruses, melancholic synths and all attached to powerful Dark Venues and post industrial settings that make his music highly hypnotic and sentimental.

***ABOUT THE MIX***

The dream of a possible future desecrated by a bitter present. The man lives within the utopia of the past, the only possible time, where everything imagined is deliberately fake, because of this planet shattered by dishonesty and progress. The future will not prevail.

Campfire Stories 40 (Ishvara) by Klara Vedis

~ About The Story ~

The sacred presence of Brahman, or the Supreme Divine Reality, is there in God, what is called Ishvara or the cosmic lord. Yet it is also present in the soul or reincarnating entity, what is called the Jiva as our higher Self. And, it is present in the world of nature, Jagat. God, soul and the world are aspects of One Reality, but not in a limited way. Each shares the entirety of the underlying Reality. Each is sacred and holds the same deeper nature of Being, Consciousness and Bliss (Sat-chit-ananda). This vision of unity is the basis for an ecological approach in which we can honour the entire universe as part of our own higher Self. It takes us beyond the duality of God and the creation. - @klara_vedis

Campfire Stories 46 (Moosleute) by Ben Preisinger (@ben-preisinger)

~ About The Story ~

A moss-woman! The hay-makers cry,
And over the fields in terror they fly.
She is loosely clad from neck to foot
In a mantel of Moss from the Maple's root,
And like the Lichen grey on its stem that grows
Is the hair that over her mantle flows.
- Archibald Maclaren
