Ambient 99

Klaus Schulze is a German electronic music pioneer, composer and musician. He was briefly a member of the Krautrock bands Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, and The Cosmic Jokers before launching a solo career consisting of more than 60 albums released across five decades. In 1969, Klaus Schulze was the drummer of one of the early incarnations of Tangerine Dream for their debut album Electronic Meditation. In 1971, he chose to leave a newly formed group after only one album, this time to mount a solo career. In 1972, Schulze released his debut album Irrlicht with organ and a recording of an orchestra filtered almost beyond recognition. Despite the lack of synthesizers, this proto-ambient work is regarded as a milestone in electronic music. The follow-up, Cyborg, was similar but added the EMS VCS 3 synthesiser. Since this point, Schulze's career has been most prolific, and he can now claim more than 40 original albums to his name since Irrlicht. "Windy Times" is a great track that was included in the re-release of his "Timewind" album originally released in 1975. A timeless piece of Electronica/Ambient beauty transformed into a rolling and gentle floating Downtempo piece of art by our mate Funkenschleuder.

I've been playing the flute since the age of 10, and I went on to earn my masters degree in Flute Performance from the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music.

I discovered the Native American Flute while traveling across the country with my husband, during a stop we made in Boulder, CO.  As soon as I played a few notes, I was fascinated and completely hooked. From then on, during our many trips throughout the southwestern desert, I would sit by the campfire and play whatever came to me while my husband star-gazed with his telescope.

My first CD of Native American Flute music came together surprisingly quickly – our crew convened at Mount Wilson Observatory in California on the evening in November 2014 and we went to work. The result is the one-hour CD: “Under the Stars” and its digital companion of out-takes: "Under the Stars, Too!" which capture the sense of wonder I feel when looking into the night sky.

Deep Dive Corp. + Ingrid Chavez - Ride (snippet)

With "Dig It" I did all the work with the computer for the first time, and in this respect it was my first "digital" album. I played and mixed everything with this G.D.S. A really tremendous gear! The sound was caustically clean. So I told myself: As I already have this gear I will really do everything with it. The drums were the only thing I had to record on a separate track because the G.D.S. had no drum sounds. So I got hold of Fred Severloh to play live drums on "Death Of An Analogue". For this pounding rhythm, I thought, you really need fat drums! But it was – just the same with my vocoder voice which you can hear on this song – only a matter of the right dramaturgy, the right effect. It wasn't my consideration just to bring in another "human" element because I don't make such a distinction. For me electronics are as human and natural as any other instrument. Violins, as I always say, don't grow on trees either! For "Weird Caravan" I had borrowed a loop by Ideal. Usually, I don't borrow anything. I do all loops and samples on my own. But in this case Ideal's drummer [Hans-Joachim Berendt] played something which I found really great. I said: "Do you mind if I cut out 1,5 meters here?" Using two tape machines I glued the tape together and run it as a loop – because, you know: "The looper isn't a hooker." Even when you're repeating yourself you're still no whore, haha. The bonus title, "Esoteric Goody", is a very abstract piece of music. I have again listened to it after a long time now. It reminds a bit of the intro for "Destination Void" from the "Mirage" album [1977]. But then this song featured a real mellotron, the heavy mechanics, not a sample. "Esoteric Goody" originated during the phase of "Dig It", so I think it fits well as a bonus track for the "Dig It" CD. The song shows the experimental side of Schulze. The 'Stahlsinfonie' (Symphony in Steel) on the bonus DVD is a recording of my concert at the "Ars Electronica" in Linz, Austria, back in 1980. On September 8th I had opened this festival following an invitation of the ORF (Astrian Broadcasting Corporation). I have played in the big hall of the Brucknerhaus, and from the outside sounds were transmitted which were made by the steel workers of the steel works VOEST-ALPINE. But I wouldn't want to use their sounds as a playback recording made beforehand – I wanted them to play live! The promoters made it work by using various telephone lines. Along the river Danube there were PA towers erected at a distance of two or three kilometres so really the entire city of Linz could listen to the music. At the end of the concert, the workers joined me on stage.

Microcosmos is happy to present "Back to Samsara", the chillout album by A-Kara.

Enlightened beings can return back to samsara to help others explore the meaning of life. Some of them think it's better to speak with music.

"Back to Samsara" is a collection of unreleased chillout gems, produced by Vitaly Bochkov in past ten years and carefully selected by DJ V++.

This fine release includes 9 deep and relaxed themes from ambient to downtempo. A-Kara's emotional music is filled with soft sounds and smooth melodies. Warm beats with gentle percussions over layered surroundings - a perfect combination for an hour in tranquility and joy.

Every tune here is a soundtrack for sacred moments of your life: ceremonies and initiations, sentimental feelings or inspirational retreats.

Listen and experience the mystical beauty of A-Kara sounds!

Best new artist revealed on Altar last year, I.M.D aka Marco Cajero is back with a full-length album titled "Mensaje al corazón".

"Mensaje al corazón", in English "Message to the Heart", is a delicate and profound psychill album that soothes with a sustained breathy tone and a wide and deep emotional sound. We hope you'll have a great listening experience.

Some words from Marco about the creation of this album: 

"During our life, we experienced different forms of Love; the Love that we receive from our family through a hug, the Love that we share with a good friend or a stranger through a good chat, the Love we offer in the moment through when kissing a beloved one. 

All of this these forms of Love are just projections, expressions of the Love that is living inside us, and that we decide to share. 

This album has been inspired by the most pure form of Love that a human can experience. 

Finding myself in an empty space, where nothing exists but pure energy, I found myself with this infinite Love, the Love that each of us has deep inside: Self Love. 

Each song has been named after an experience I've lived during this last year, where I found myself with this infinite energy. 

I hope this message of sound, can bring you to a place where you can find your Self Love, and hopefully you will be able to experience this infinite energy of light that flows inside of each of us. Hear it, feel it, embrace it, 

This is a message to life, this is a message to the heart."

I.M.D 


Beautifully illustrated with the art of Manu Menendez "El mensajero de los sueños": 
"The fox symbolism ushers in a time of great discernment, especially when it comes to your personal relationships. Everything is so much clearer when you have the fox meaning working in your personal life. The fox totem represents your great wisdom, just like the elk totem..."

Lyrics - La flor que me besó

No estoy sola, 
Nunca lo he estado, 
No he perdido a nadie, 
Pues viven dentro de mi, 

Yendo al infinito, 
Tenia los ojos cerrados, 
Y cuando desperté, 
Una Flor me besó

//// English ///// 

Im not alone, 
I have never been, 
I haven’t lost anyone, 
They live inside of me, 

Going to Infinity,
I had my eyes closed, 
And when i woke up, 
A flower kissed me
