Quiet Space — #92 – Melquíades

Melquíades is the solo project of Carlos Perea-Milla, who runs the Canigou, an Independent cassette label based between South East London and Málaga. Starting with acoustic instrumentation – flute, cello, piano – a touch of electric guitar – the music is processed and blended into a sun-drenched ambient blissful experience, with a touch of tape warp to create an engaging listen from start to finish. One of my favourite releases of the year so far! It’s our focus on this episode plus Thomas William Hill, Altars Altars and more.

Quiet Space — #91 – Luke Sanger – Ancient Pathways (Premiere)

I’m very happy to premiere the new release from Luke Sanger, a musician from the UK who has been writing and performing electronic music for fifteen years. On Ancient Pathways, Luke turns to his modular synthesiser as the sole source of sound and arrangement. Luke coaxes delicate and intriguing tones and textures from his setup, it’s a gorgeously warm collection of percolating sounds perfect for helping you relax. Coming out this week on the ever reliable Serein label.

Quiet Space — #90 – The Prowess of Western Edges

Our focus on this episode is on Western Edges, the new ambient/electronic solo project of Richard Adams, founder member, alongside his brother Chris, of the legendary Leeds band Hood. Since Hood went on hiatus in 2005, Richard Adams has recorded his music under the moniker of The Declining Winter, either solo or with help of friends. Prowess is made up of eight electronic tracks, of blissful ambience and shimmering electronics. These tracks were made to soundtrack the feelings Richard Adams had about the area where he lives in Saltaire, West Yorkshire and the Aire valley, while each one was inspired by a different photograph of the area.

1/2/3/4 — #100 — Firefly Burning and Brain Romance

A Milestone! Episode 100 of 1/2/3/4. No trumpet fanfare (we did have a trombone last episode), just a selection of some of the best new music. Firefly Burning are a folk ensemble with a progressive arthouse twist, I’ve long admired their work and excited by their upcoming new release. Produced by Tim Friese-Greene this is a stunning collection of adventurous songs. As well, Brian Campeau and Hannah Cameron join forces as Brain Romance, their first single reveals some sublime harmonies. Plus new essential tracks from Cate Le Bon, Nev Cottee and a tribute to Patrick Gibson.
