Momentan gespieltes Stück: Beyond Sensory Experience Kommentar anzeigen - Standing Silent
Kommentare zum Künstler/Projekt 'Beyond Sensory Experience'
Von DarkAmbient:Finally ordered the six Beyond Sensory Experience albums because I got the impression there is something missing in the program here on DAR. Turned out that I was right -- concerning most of the albums.

BSE is a project of K. Meizter (who has also released some solo CDs, I -- shame on me -- haven't recognized till now as well) and J. Aneheim alias Drakh(hon) also performing together with Nordvargr in Mz.412, who seemes to have played a bigger part in the 2008 album No Lights in Our Eyes.

The only BSE album I didn't take into the program was The Dull Routine of Existence as the clipping clicks appear most unnerving fo me (and for a radio editor who's daily blues consists partly of clipping cd rips due to hot mastering or simply poorly mastered mp3s sent to me it's far above sensory tolerance).

The two other albums from the later CMI phase are nicely done in my ears, pretty much like the first three: notable are the sometimes rather minimal dark ambient soundscapes that are far from becoming boring, which is an art not many projects show to the extend BSE does -- with the exception of The Dull Routine of Existence, of course. Maybe the artists deliberately wanted to produce a boring album to see if someone does notice it at all -- or maybe I simply wasn't able to discover the excitement in boredom. At least nobody can blame the album for missing its theme.

Whoever want's to carefully take a closer look at the project, I recommend to start with Ratan, which I like the most. There exists a remix album Korrelations I abstained from ordering as well as the collaboration albums. Forgive me my ignorance -- if you find these most important, please add a comment here.
Von Doomcore:Thank you for your suggestion!!! Smile I listened to some previews on their website and they sound great.... Grin
Von Inner Vision Laboratory:I think that the best album of BSE is "no lights in our eyes"
It's one of the darkest and sadest album I 've ever heard. Strongly recommended!

Dark Ambient Radio supports coops

   Subvert Coop Logo

The New York City based coop aims at being an artist-owned replacement for Bandcamp. Bandcamps recent ownership changes has raised doubts that the platform still can be trusted. Maybe subvert.fm is worth giving it a try...

Update: Another coop project is resonate:

Umzug Webspace

Webspace moved. Site still under reconstruction.

Baustelle

Please have a little bit more patience.

Stream Online Again
public domain icon checkmark

The radio stream is online again. Sorry for the disruption.
DAR recommends:

Dark Ambient Radio Vol. 4 released
DAR Vol 4 cover art

From Saturday on, it will be available for 6? on Bandcamp. All money goes to the contributing artists (after taxes, of course).

We worked on the release the bigger part of the year 2022. Everything is mixed & mastered with love. We hope to give you a piece of solace in this dark time of the year. Enjoy!

Problems with Winamp last two weeks
It seems many people still use Winamp to listen to the stream.

Two weeks ago, my radio software SAM Broadcaster began to create unaccaptable bad sound and I wasn't able to solve it. So I looked for an alternative and found a nice freeware: RadioDJ. Because the AltaCast plugin didn't work with the AAC+ encoder, I needed to connect RadioDJ to the stand-alone version of AltaCast via a virtual audio cable (VB-Audio). Getting it running was a rather painful experience.

But I got complaints from Winamp users being not able to listen to the stream anymore. So I requested some technical support to get SAM Broadcaster running again. This is how it looks, btw., a user interface style from 20 years ago:

I think, I will switch to a Linux server somewhere in the far future and use Opus instead of AAC+. Hopefully more people have abandoned Winamp by then. But maybe bandwidth will be cheap enough to provide a mp3 stream for nostalgic reasons. :-p

The Internet Archive
It's the 1st of December and many organizations put their hat on the data highway and beat the drums to collect donatins.

A special case this year is the San Francisco based Internet Archive that wants to make a backup of its collection in Canada -- maybe to escape the reach of a Trumpian administration.
Since many years now, before soundcloud or even MySpace existed, I always found some pearls when I delved into the audio library. It seems to be the best place to carve something in stone on the internet. So if you have some bugs left in your pocket and you are thinking about donating it for some good cause, consider good old archive.org.

I wish you all a nice contemplative winter time!
Downtime again
Sorry for the little downtime today. My ISP now seems to work seriously on the problem, so it won't happen soon again.
Downtime
Sorry for the downtime. The broadcasting software crashed after the Spacial streaming server went offline.

Now you will only get DAR using the Viastreaming link:

http://s3.viastreaming.net:8835/listen.pls

The good thing is that databases like Shoutcast or Reciva might update the link soon.
New streaming provider / more slots soon
Dark Ambient Radio moves from Spacial to Viastreaming. Soon the slot number will be increased from 50 to 60 to overcome the weekend congestions.

If someone is at the WGT: I plan to attend the Tehom gig @ Loki/Deepaudio on Monday.

Maybe that's the reason why the radio software freezes if I forget to reboot my Mac once per month.

Oops... the dark ambient playlist was a little contaminated with another style on the backup system. Hope this didn't bother you too much. Cool
