In the beginning…..

The Spacemusic Podcast - it all started with this topic in the ‘MACFAN’ , somewhere at the beginning of 2005 about podcasting + an interview with Adam Curry. For us the first encounter with podcasting… The fact everybody was able to start a channel with audio and video content was something we had to read twice! Really? Wowww… We searched for a way to record a show; something we used to do since the age of 9… always behind the decks sort of speak. This time more serious because there was a world wide audience waiting! The first couple of shows recorded with Cubase Audio - mixing ambient and electronic music - some very crappy English came out of the mouth but… the result was nice!

February 2005: Spacemusic was officially launched via it’s own podcast channel. Libsyn offering an easy way to publish content via the feed and a great online interface to manage all content. These guys rock! ‘Podcasting made easy’. You bet! Sonology concerts, soundseeing in the snow in Rotterdam, cooking in the kitchen, LIVE soundseeing from Cyprus, Sate Chicken Fly Away… and more.

Ambient music was still alive! We started to promote (electronic) musicians by playing and mixing their tracks like cooking Italian dinner Fantastic feedback. Artists were selling albums again and got the attention from the public. Some of the musicians got excited again after years of silence…they started to compose new tracks! Spacemusic was featuring James Bernard, Off the Sky, The Circular Ruins, Sonarfreq, Elipsis1 and many more. The Databloem record label inspired us to create more and more shows too.

The amount of listeners started @ 50 downloads a show, after the release of iTunes 4.9 (built-in podcast feature) this became around 4,000 per show till more than 10,000 downloads per episode. After two years we passed 1,2 million downloads and still going strong….

Hi TC,

What’s happened to the first 18 episodes of the Spacemusic podcast? The XML feed and the iTunes podcast page both seem to start at #19 Organic meets Technology.

I would love to hear the first few episodes!

Admin Reply: ….the first 18 episodes are taken offline. The shows back then are not of any added value in our eyes anymore, perhaps in future episodes we will include tracks/mixes of these older shows again, built on quality format @ latest standards. Do we make sense… ;-( ? Spacemusic….just wait and see what happens and keep listening. Warning: don’t listen to Spacemusic all day as you might start talking like we do now… that’s a direct consequence of this crazy music we play. Hey, hey, hey

Yes, that makes sense. I just thought it would be interesting to hear the really early stuff to see how you’ve progressed! Of course, it also makes a complete historical document

Anyway, I love the shows. Long may they continue. I’ll try not to listen to Spacemusic all day - but I’m not making any promises!

Belated High Praise for your “mash-up” in
Episode 41:Pete Namlook+Off the Sky.
A bit of a gorgeous mystery, as well, since I cannot seem to find these tracks.
Not in my collection of Silence tracks, it seems.
