In the lowlands of Burma lie the remains of thousands of crumbling temples...

In this episode, we tell one of the most colourful stories of civilizational survival: the story of the Bagan Empire of Myanmar. Find out how this kingdom rose up in the Irrawaddy river valley of central Myanmar, and built one of the most remarkable series of monuments to have survived from the medieval world. Discover what life was like for the people who lived there, and find out what happened to cause its sudden and complete collapse.

Far in the distance, three colossal shapes tower over the desert horizon…

In this episode, we travel to the Nile Valley, and tell the story of one of the most iconic cultures ever produced by humankind – the civilizations of ancient Egypt. I want to show how this series of related cultures grew up in the floodplains of their great river, and built some of the most enduring and recognizable structures in the world. And I want to tell the story of what happened to bring the age of the Pharaohs finally and cataclysmically to an end.

Dark Days Ambient Session recorded mid-winter, looking for brighter days finding beautiful sounds while improvising. 

Best listened in relaxing atmosphere with good sound system or headphones.
Would love to make music for movies and short films.

Dark Days Ambient Session

After intense weeks of organising and celebrating Dutch Modular Fest 24' in Utrecht, it was time to hit the antisocial sound cave. 

Yamaha organ at home fed into looper Eurorack module by Dirkxonic, and processed further in modular synth setup. Leading, drum and bass sounds coming from organ, spacey bleeps from FM and AM modulating Benjolin and VCO module through ringfolder and adding some space and bits with Qbit Nautilus and Typhoon... ahhh take me awayyyyy....

In the far east of the Eurasian steppe, the sound of hoofbeats is growing...

In this episode we travel along the vast grassland corridor of the steppe, to hear one of the most remarkable and unlikely stories from medieval history – the story of the Mongol Empire. Find out how this group of nomadic horse riders united the peoples of the Mongolian steppe, and forged them into a truly unique kind of state. Discover how they conquered much of the lands of Eurasia, and brought the distant cultures of China, Persia, the Middle East and Europe into contact. And hear the story of how the world’s largest land empire finally came apart, and left the world as we know it in its wake.
