21/06/11 - Playlist - John - Winter Solstice special

Deep's Winter Solstice special  – a show for the misguided, foolhardy and courageous. The pagans believed that the world ended and started again each winter solstice, the longest night, after which the days began to grow longer again. In celebration of this I played, in it’s entirety, New York sound artist William Basinski’s 63 minute piece,  ‘Disintegration Loops 1.1’, which features a single looped sample gradually and  elegantly disintegrating over the period of an hour. It is an incredible and strangely enveloping listening experience and this was a rare opportunity to hear this piece, as there are very few radio stations in the world that would offer the freedom to play it. Incidentally, this piece featured on several 'Best of' lists, including being number 10 on Tiny Mix Tapes list of best releases of the 2000s. The second hour of the show featured Texan sound artist, Akira Rabelais’ stunningly beautiful hour long remix of Harold Budd’s ‘As Long As I Can Hold My Breath’, possibly one of the most sublime pieces of ambient music ever made and a wonderful way to celebrate the coming spring. 

William Basinski - DlP 1.1 - from The Disintegration Loops 1 (2062)
Harold Budd - As Long As I Can Hold My Breath - Akira Rabelais Remix - from Avalon Sutra (Samadhisound)

10/05/11 - John - Playlist - Ambient Roots

The show set out to trace the early development of ambient music from when the genre was first named by Brian Eno in the cover notes to his 1975 release, 'Discreet Music'. It pretty much turned into an Eno retrospective as most of the early ambient records were his creations and co-creations. The sounds ranged over a twenty year period from 1973's 'No Pussyfooting' with Robert Fripp to 1993's 'Neroli', arguably the most ambient ambient release of all and a definite pinnacle of the ideal. Named after a fragrance, the sound colors the environment like incense.
