syndae - episode 548

It was a dark night in the 1970s, when some mysterious guy opened
up a music studio in a Berlin school to enable freaky drug addicts
to play music using instruments powered by electricity ... Nah, it
wasn't. But would make a nice story about the origins of this style
of music, nowadays often known (or confused) with sequencer driven
electronic music. Berlin School, one of the earliest main sources
for the then famous and new electronic music scene, actually has
its roots in Berlin. We all know its pioneers like Klaus Schulze,
Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke, Günter Schickert, Manuel
Göttsching, Dieter Moebius, Michael Rother, ... Well, and many
more. It was originally an exploration of these new kind of
instruments and what one could accomplish using them for sound
creation. There definitely are some variations on Berlin School,
some when reviving the old 70s style in the early 90s and bringing
it up to date with new developments in technology and musical
experience. And, yet again, younger and current artists are picking
up the scents and bring it back to modern life. Now, this is not
meant as a history podcast, but to relish the music. Enjoy the
modern way of Berlin-ish school music with tracks by Klangzaun,
Mythos (Berliner Schule Sequencing), Däcker (Pareidolia), Cloudwalk
(Realm of Jupiter), Nations of the Reverbs (Fractures), Steve Roach
(Tomorrow). Check https://www.syndae.de/episodes/926-episode-548
