Sorcerer‘s Nacht(2025)🧙‍♂️

I love Edgar Froese's music to the 1979 German sci-fi TV mini-series "Das verbotene Spiel" (The Forbidden 
Game).
This was recorded after watching the DVD in 2015. 
It's really unfortunate that this wonderful soundtrack by Edgar Froese has never been released. 

Here's a great video of what the original music sounds like.

Dream Requiem(2025)⏳[Updated!]

This week on Line Noise I spoke to Thorsten Quaeschning, the musical director (and longest-standing member) of foundational German band Tangerine Dream, a group whose influence looms over ambient and electronic music. We spoke about black metal, where to start with Tangerine Dream, founder member Edgar Froese’s plans for the band after his death in 2015 and how the current band (in which Quaeschning is joined by Hoshiko Yamane and Paul Frick) are carrying these out. Line Noise is brought to you by Cupra.

The photo is from the band's recent Barcelona concert.

A podcast about electronic music by Ben Cardew. Formerly home to Braqueberry and Philip Sherburne. Picking at the threads of electronic music. Now available on Radio Primavera Sound (primaverasound.com/en/radio). We also have a Substack: https://linenoise.substack.com/

Mats Orveland/"MO-PROJECT": 
Composer, keyboard and drum-programming, (exept where other mentioned). 
My music is often improvised, and several songs are actually unfinished song drafts. But I hope you can ignore that and instead listen to my feelings and my thoughts. I like to play with sounds, ambient, effects, electronic instruments and tools. Drawing influences from different electronic music genres. Mostly Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tony Banks. 
Relax and breathe, to my sound-carpets! <3

Every track was recorded between 1980 and 2025.

Some of the instruments and machines: ARP Odyssey Synthesizer, Roland D50, Yamaha DX7+RX11, Korg M3R, Roland tr808, Roland R8, Roland JX3P, SIEL Poly Synthesizer, Roland Digital-Sequencer CSQ-100, TEAC PortaStudio 144. Plus computer software programs.

"Instead of shooting arrows at someone else’s target, which I’ve never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed.
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre."
— Brian Eno
