Sequences Podcast No 202 (extended edition) This is our last podcast for this year, with some great music to finish it off with. It’s certainly been another 12 months of never-ending constant media attention, fear & panic about the pandemic. As we all were looking forward to the Christmas holidays, now comes the rhetoric of a new variant. Here we go again more lockdowns, mandatory jabs & for the unvaccinated especially in my home state Queensland, locked out of many pleasures in life of going to pubs, cinemas, festivals, gyms, clubs, etc. On a lighter note music has certainly taken away some of the stress we’ve endured over the last 12 months. It’s been another year for us of countless new artists appearing on Sequences with 15 new names to finish off within our extended 4-hour show. Abraham Fogg begins our last journey of the year with a powerful & dynamic blend of electronica, techno & chamber music. .Sequences Podcast No 202 01.58 Abraham Fogg ‘The Ceremony’ (album Blakulla) www.abrahamfogg.com 06.16

Happy to say we had a great response to our 200th Special Edition with over 3700 plays just on Soundcloud alone, one of the ten music sites Sequences can be heard on.

This is the first of two editions for December with the second one another extra hour added to accommodate the large number of promos submitted over the last six weeks. Just a few new names to add to the long list of musicians & bands we’ve introduced over the last 9 years of podcasting.

Paolo Angeli, the Sardinian sorcerer, manually magics beautiful multi-layered music from his unique prepared guitar, achieving the tonal range and sonic pressure of a post-rock ensemble. 21-yea

Two hundred, not out! Sounds like a cricket score but in fact, it’s a measure of the achievement of Mick Garlick in publishing ‘Sequences’. Initially, an audio cassette, then a magazine/CD, and now a podcast. Sequences magazines were compiled by Mick with reviews and interviews by several other contributors, all edited by Mick into a cohesive look at contemporary and vintage Electronic Music. One of the main contributors in the early days of Sequences was Carl Jenkinson, who has reprised his role for this special 200th issue and prepared a look back at some of the people and events he recalls from the time he spent with Mick the ED): to be found on our Podcast web page with messages from several musicians Mick has known over zillions!!! of years, 31 tracks kindly submitted by familiar names in the scene, many of them especially composed for this edition.

Sequences Podcast No 192 It’s been a hectic month so far delaying producing the usual two editions. So, here we have the latest, no 192, with the next one streaming at the beginning of June. A quick word on the new faces are Elderado Omega a dark ambient/drone project from Atlanta USA, Gydja, (Abby Helasdottir) on Winter-Light with expansive drones, woven through with intricate percussive elements unearthly vocals, and atmospheric field recordings, French composer and multi-instrumentalist Christine Ott weaves a unique dramaturgy between contemporary classical and electro-acoustic music, with Silver Galaxy a four-piece lineup fronted by Anna Maria Van Reusel a Berlin-based musician/producer working in a broad spectrum of sounds.

One of our listeners found Sequences podcasts on several more music sites, these include Owitail.com, Podbay.com, Himalaya.com, Mytuner-Radio.com & Book.com without our permission, but in one way it’s more outlets to get the music across on the internet. Again there’s plenty of diversity in this edition which we always try to achieve with ten new names appearing, perhaps not all their music here is to everybody’s taste, but hopefully, it makes it more interesting to hear sounds that you might pass by. Don’t forget to check the playlist & bio pages of individual musicians on our website. We leave you now with the new project ‘Kontrol Raum’ by Bas Broekhuis, Frank Rothe & Mario Schonwalder.

Another slightly extended edition by 30 minutes, trying to get a backlog of new releases that have been on hold while moving to a new home. Quite a lot of musicians appearing for the first time on Sequences, nine in total giving us a broad range of styles from quirky experiments to Berlin school & dark ambient to symphonic scores. Steve Roach joins us with his sonic continuation of mystical captivating spacious sounds, the rich tranquil ambient music of New Zealander Rudy Adrian, rhythmical sequence lines from Ian Boddy’s modular synths blending with Markus Reuter’s overlaid beautiful guitar parts soaring overhead, Thaneco evoking melodies from certain colors with RNGMNN unforgiving dark landscapes disorientating & unsettling, are just a few of the musicians joining us again.

A quick blurb, we are back with only one edition this March, because as I mentioned before, with moving home without the internet for 10 days, taking time unpacking everything, setting out the studio/ office up again & going through over 1000 emails, we haven’t had the time to compile our usual two. Had a problem with the software I’m using to do the mixing, their upgrade buggered everything up, now with no mouse control for Mac which is useless, saying this was demo & wanted another 80 dollars to register it. Found a free one quickly but it’s going to take time to sort it out, didn’t get round to figuring out how to mix the music with the audio text so no intro from Karen.

This will be the only edition for this month due to Mick moving in shortly to his newly built abode, which is a month earlier than expected. If we have time there’s a possibility of a “best of” to fill the gap. As we rely on what goes on each episode monthly from the latest releases coming in, the range of music can vary. On this latest one, it’s more laid back with various ambient styles, symphonic & ethereal sounds, although there is uptempo stuff too.
