Happy New Year to all our friends & listeners from the team, Mike, Andy and, of course, our host, Karen. Moving house over Christmas has been a busy time for me. Now in temporary accommodation with my daughter & son-in-law before another move later in the year back to the UK. Since starting Sequences in a cupboard (yes, you heard it right) with just a cassette machine, I have come full circle being back in a cupboard again while most of my possessions are in storage with just one trusty ...

Now you’ve gorged yourself on the festive spirit, and your loved ones drag some of you to those Boxing Day bargain sales. It’s time for the music with another special edition featuring VoLt, with band members Michael Shipway & Steve Smith’s solo & various projects. Two of my close friends in this genre have enjoyed each other’s company, especially on many memorable excursions to Germany & Holland to meet others with an energetic passion for electronic music.

After several years buried in books, manuals, patch cables and messing with a DIY synth, JakoJako (real name Sibel Koçer) was playing her first live sets in Berlin, spending every spare cent on Eurorack modules. The trio Emeralds with soaring sounds stylistically indebted to deep German electronic music pioneers. ACTIVE DARK FILAMENT is a Canadian electronic music artist creating textured cinematic compositions, often containing a narrative edge. Like nearly all of Inquiri’s music, there is a di...

Just a quick intro: this will be the only edition this month due to being very busy with other projects, but an extended one, covering another hour of diverse electronic sounds. Most of the albums featured are new releases from previous musicians & bands who have over the years been with us on Sequences since our journey started podcasting in 2012. It’s quite a line-up here. We won’t go into details, but as always, definitely check out bio pages for more info on those appearing in this issue...

Our lineup in this issue includes the third volume of their benefit compilation of Various Artists From Ukraine, now 19 months since Russia invaded with no end in sight.

We kick off this edition with Robert Schroeder’s new release, ‘Into The Light’, drifting away into dream worlds by letting yourself be beamed into other dimensions with space effects, mysterious spheres, deep strings and dreamy melodies. Erik Wollo returns with an assemblage of acoustic guitars. Erik says everything you hear is acoustic, with no synths used on the new album ‘Cloud Of Strings’.

It’s always a pleasure to introduce musicians in Mick’s domain of Australia, which includes a relatively new composer on the scene, Matt Goodluck, who has a long history in the music business and is also a member of Australia’s largest Pink Floyd tribute act, Echoes of Pink Floyd as lead vocalist and tours nationwide. Cinematic ambient composer Paul Headon, a.k.a DREAMSCAPIST new album ‘Mind Space’, takes us further into what may be the unknown, meditation/atmospheric/ambient/music for sleep. As...

It’s great to see the feedback from some of you who enjoyed the Modular/vintage edition. Now, back to our usual look at recent new releases, with another round of superlative sounds from musicians based around the globe.

In this 4-hour special, we focus on musicians who have used new modular & vintage synths in their studios, with tracks taken from the 80s to the present day, which have been featured on various editions of our previous podcasts. Modular synths, once considered virtually obsolete, have been one of the most surprising growth areas in music technology over the last decade. The main appeal to musicians is obvious: their unrivalled flexibility makes them the most versatile form of an imaginable s...

With many recent releases, this edition gives us more ambient electro-acoustic & downtempo music, including two pioneering musicians from the 80s to the present day. Steve Roach with the 20th anniversary of ‘Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces, where the label Projekt collects all four parts into a single release — close to five hours of electronic ambient music, which allows the listener blissful hours on the high frontier between deep listening music and the spirituality of pure sound. The m...

We welcome eight new acts to Sequences, including Christine Ott’s two bands, The Cry, an improvising trio with multiple textures & the duo Snowdrops, a unique combination of contemporary classical, jazz, electronic music and film score. With her distinctive voice Amaya (Maud Of Moth), a Madrid born residing in Edinburgh, dances all over her deftly woven compositions. Not using a name but numbers 58918012 score a pretty dark/melancholic/sad /cinematic and even a bit depressive sound—another s...

Only one edition this month due to moving my daughter & son-in-law out of my place into their newly renovated home. Meanwhile, I present our first Sequences audio tape from 1992 remastered was born from the demise of the UK Electronic music audio magazine, Inkeys and the short-lived Syntrax. Our debut edition, released in 1992, was the only one mastered on audio cassette, which, unfortunately, is now unplayable. This is a remastered version without the banter between tracks (we couldn’t extr...

With a third of the year already gone by, the so-called pandemic has quietly dropped out from the main media news, but more worrying is the war continuing in Ukraine with no end in sight. As you know, we’ve supported Ukraine & Russian musicians with no malice to the latter, any music from them kept out of the politics of this war. The lineup for this edition is mostly names that have appeared before on Sequences, except for Alpha Romeo’s sublime mixes of retro synth urban vibes with quality ...

As always, we are governed by the releases that come in every month; we’ve certainly had our fair share this time of ambient, symphonic, neo-classical & experimental stuff for this podcast. In addition to what would have been Vangelis’s 80th birthday, there are tributes from Michael Neil on his album ‘Into Infinity’, & Aural Films, with thirty-seven artists from around the world who have contributed their own reflections on his vast career, four & half hours of music, we’ve selected ...

As we said in the past, our podcasts are not like DJ mixes. We are here to promote electronic music showcasing so many different genres in that field, which is sometimes challenging and thought-provoking, featuring mostly up-to-date new releases. Our analogue/modular section includes the musician Hélène Vogelsinger, with her second part in the Metaphysical Alteration series of four sessions, taking place in the same huge abandoned place, Suki Sou from the peak district in the UK using Buchla, Mo...

As our support for the unjustified war in Ukraine started over a year ago, we decided to feature a few musicians from that country in this latest edition. Zavoloka's experimental work began with that inspiration from British ‘90s electronic music, which is still a key influence for her, but she’s expanded into the world of field recordings with strong driving rhythms. You won’t necessarily be able to pick out the piano submerged in Endless Melancholy music, but it’s there, providing a steady dro...

Back to our usual edition for this month with a look at the latest releases. From Lisa Bella Donna’s crystalline images on the modular synthesizer systems to Harald Nies classic electronic music with space-rock elements. Erik Wollo’s single, an EP of remixes, is an exquisite collection of moods and emotions, ranging from vigorous and earthy to mesmerizing evocative. A heady mixture of an epic tour de force of electronics from Surface 10 is almost beyond categorisation, and Bart Hawkins further e...

Happy New year to you all, and welcome to our first edition of 2023, the eleventh year online. I hope you had a great time over Christmas and New Year Festivities. After losing two of the legends in electronic music in 2022, Vangelis & Klaus Schulze, it came as a shock to all of us to hear Manuel Gottshing had passed away on December 4th, regarded as one of the finest guitarists to come out of the German Krautrock scene who founded Ash Ra Temple in the early seventies. Also, a very good frie...
