From Holland comes today’s artist *TC* - It all started when he was like 7 years old and heard this tape with music by Jean-Michel Jarre: the Oxygène album. It was recorded by his neighbour and friend Robert. It just went on and on from that moment in time… TC bought himself one synthesizer-based record after another. Other music was irrelevant from his perspective… Though during his childhood he used to listen to very melodic songs as well, collected by his parents; on a regular day he would hear Neil Diamond, James Last, Barbra Streisand, some Arne Janssen during birthday parties and even this Dutch band ‘BZN’. We’re talking the livingroom now. Back in his own room, TC would play his vinyl collection and listen to the radio. During the 80’s his favorite radio show was the ‘CD Show’ hosted by Wim van Putten. But also ‘The Soul Show’ with Ferry Maat and ‘In The Mix’ by Ben Liebrand on friday nights at Veronica radio station.
His vinyl collection in those years: Peru, Jarre, Vangelis, Klaus Doldinger, Tangerine Dream. When the first CD’s were launched TC was at the ‘Capilux’ store and bought his first one: Klaus Schulze ‘Body Love’. His first electronic music CD ever…
TC studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, NL. In 1994, TC was the first Dutch conservatory student to graduate on a live dance music performance, held at the Sonic Acts Festival in Paradiso, Amsterdam. He was in a band at that time called ‘Normally Invisible’. They made one album and it was released on Staalplaat Records, Amsterdam. Genre: ambient/trance.
In his own studio TC worked on a solo project, the ‘Atlantic Treasure’ album. It wasn’t released until years later when the iTunes Store was getting popular. There’s no physical release but one never knows what the future might bring. From this album the jukebox plays ‘Impact LNB’ - inspired by the Nord Lead synth, samples from SciFi movies, the wonderful theme of ‘La Double Vie de Véronique’ (Zbigniew Preisner) and his big Persian love from Isfahan, both were born on the same day. File it under ‘what suits you’ or ‘never to be deleted’. It’s intriguing and cinematic and it even makes the artist wonder whatever happened to making music…

Since Jason Corder decided that becoming a weather man was farcely over-rated, he coined the ambiguously fitted moniker ‘Off the Sky’ which was in reality birthed in transit of his experimenting with converting chaos theories (especially those relating to weather systems*) into musical forms. And really its just an apropos title summating this atmospheric and acoustic communal project emanating from his studio in Kentucky ergo USA. Offthesky is truly a humble handle that reflects both Jason’s mild manered nature and his “in-the-clouds” mind-set when relating to others. His musical miasmatic manifestations are loosely inspired by chaos theory mathematics, dark foreboding jazz, and various natural substances…
The Jukebox plays “From Cold Distances to a Warm Place”. Like more of his tracks, this one can be seen as ‘glue’ between other tracks, creating the perfect sound bath, the perfect moments, the movie directed by Jason Corder a.k.a. Off the Sky.

Biosphere is the main recording name of Geir Jenssen (born 1962), a Norwegian musician who has released a notable catalogue of ambient and electronic music. He is well known for his ‘ambient techno’ and ‘arctic ambient’ styles, his use of music loops and particular samples from sci-fi sources. His track ‘Novelty Waves’ was used for the 1995 campaign of Levi’s. His 1997 album ‘Substrata’ was voted by www.hyperreal.org as one of the all time classic ambient albums.
Biosphere regularly performs live during electronic music festivals and in clubs throughout Europe and various other locales around the world. Live performances usually consist of Jenssen performing improvisations or variations on newer tracks on a laptop while video art is projected behind him. In 2008 Jenssen announced a year-long break from touring due to his reported hatred of ‘airports, security checks, unhealthy food, air conditioning, hotels, etc.’ However he resumes concert activity in 2009….
Today’s Jukebox track is the first track we ever heard from Biosphere. We go back to 1992… it’s the timeless ‘Microgravity’ with many thanks to ‘Origo Sound’.

Solar Cycle has been making music for over 9 years now in various styles and under several aliases. It all got started during the 90’s when he experienced music production and DJ sets. After moving to London a few years ago he (name unknown) met interesting people who helped him to understand the beauty of making music on a PC (perhaps it’s time for the Mac soon?) After a few years of studying music and composing, dance and techno stuff, trance productions, the Solar Cycle project really got started. A style that he refers to as “Summer Cocktail of Chillout House, Electronica and Ambient”.

California artist, musician and teacher Gary Rich (G.Rich) was one of the founding members of the early 1970’s “space music and chaos” band The Lunar Asylum, which is still active today in the San Francisco Bay area. He is self-taught on several instruments and studied vibraphone with Dave Gerhart at Cal State University Long Beach. Over the years G.Rich has committed long hours of studio time devoted to developing a unique graphic style, and several years ago began to experiment with electronic composition. The early artwork and recent compositions have merged in several videos available for viewing on Youtube (search “the25room” or follow the link available here).

Cass Anawaty has been involved with music for over 20 years. As a guitarist he has studied with fingerstyle legend Alex DeGrassi, Flamenco purist Mark Taylor, and renowned Jass performer/instructor Don Latarski. His years of work as a musician and composer led him to found Sunbreak Music LLC in 2002 as a platform for media composition and production.
British born Paul has loved music since earlier than he can remember. He was brought up on a strict diet of Edie Cochran, the Beatles and the Tamla Motown sounds of the sixties. He soon settled on the bass guitar as his instrument of choice and, although he can scratch out a rudimentary tune or two on the six string and the piano, he still maintains his love for the engine room of the band, the link between the rhythm that drives and the melody that charms.
The album ‘Monjour’ is the first of a planned series by Cass and Paul. Imagine: one lives on the West Coast of the USA, the other in Singapore. Lots of guests appear in their production as you can read on the dedicated site of the album. ‘Monjour’ is the result of working remotely in their studios and 8000 miles apart…. The Jukebox plays ‘Sunset over Manda Valley’ (Jehanna Phares Hakime, recitation).
Words from the booklet: Monjour does not compete in the loudness wars. It has been mastered to preserve the dynamics and excitement of the original mixes. Therefore, for maximum aural pleasure, we advise you to turn it up REALLY FREAKIN’ LOUD.
