29 Jul 11 Final Show Season 6
Here we are… just before the Summer Break in 2011 - like every year we will take a break, leave the studios, go out and relax, getting fresh air, inspiration, charging the battery. The Spacemusic battery is what we’re talking about. We counted 42 episodes during Season 6 of our Ambient & Electronic podcast; we enjoyed doing Coffee breaks, the NonStop editions and the new items called ‘Take 5′. We also enjoyed producing the Fresh Air! series which will be on ‘hold’ as well for the break. During the break please feel free to send us e-mail, please do send your demo/released albums so we can listen to these during lazy summer afternoons…
Will there be a Season 7? First we will dive into some figures, hosting bills, studio equipment and make decisions about maintenance. We are a non-sponsored station and this means we must rely on the support by our audience. One can make donations via the website and we need this kind of support very bad. So before we can think or tell about new programs for the upcoming new season, we must go and calculate costs and profits first. To be honest with you: during the past few months hardly any donation made it to the show; we’re talking a rare couple of dollars in 6 months time. We simply can’t pay the show from such amounts of money and after 6 seasons of Spacemusic and a very wide audience that seems a bit strange is it? Especially if we have a look at the download statistics for the podcast……
Each Spacemusic/ Fresh Air episode is downloaded app. 5,000 times. How ’bout if only one percent of these downloads would donate us one dollar? We’d generate 50 dollars each show. This would make sense right? This is not a stupid thought is it? This would solve our worries maintaining the Spacemusic podcast station. This would pay the bills and even make it possible for us to save some for studio equipment. Feel free to share your thoughts about this. Feel free to come up with brand new ideas creating a strong supportive community. We’re all ears.
So what’s up next? Up next is the final episode for season 6 and it will be a Happy Hour one! So we’ll chat some more about all the above and TC will share great new music that reached us by e-mail and postal lately. Music, some talk, interesting links to sites, cup of coffee, a nice final for the season. ETA show release: august 11th.
Stay tuned and enjoy your summer!

28 Nov 10 Jarre LIVE! Ahoy Rotterdam
After a quick dinner I decided to take my car to the Ahoy area…. it had started freezing and the last thing I wanted was, after being in the heath for at least 2 hours, catch a cold on the bike on my way back home. Hmm, one thing that was totally crazy: parking costs at the Ahoy…. they ask 11,- euros for that so I was lucky knowing Rotterdam well. In about 3 minutes from the parking area one can park for free so keep it in mind when visiting. I entered Ahoy Arena around 7:15pm. The show started a bit after 8pm. Jean-Michel entered the concert hall from the back door which was very funny! He started shaking hands with the audience, how cool’s that? I was busy with a new camera and the darn thing could not focus quick enough so I’m afraid there’s no picture of the man’s entrance…. perhaps next time.
Familiar songs, familiar sounds, amazing visuals, fantastic atmosphere! Though I have heard most of the tracks at least a thousand times Jarre and his band certainly know how to twist the songs and make them sound intriguingly fresh again. My first time hearing the Laser Harp LIVE in a concert area… it’s simply beyond any words! THE LOWWWW frequencies makes you shiver, tears and goose bumps guaranteed. And after last night I finally understand the Theremin instrument… it goes deep.
So, please do watch the video we have made out of some photos and video clips. It’s posted on Youtube, VIMEO and Blip.tv is uploading as we speak. It’s not the real DTS Master Audio but.,… it works!
Thanks for a fantastic show Jean-Michel!

Saycet:
Saycet is the project of Pierre Lefeuvre, a french music composer hailing from Paris who cut his teeth listening to Boards of Canada and Múm. His first solo album entitled One Day at Home resulted in nine atmospherical tracks, evoking abstract landscapes and fairy tales for adults from song to song…

02 Aug 09 Senseo® Sundays ::: Strom Noir :::
Relaxation day….great coffee (from the Nespresso machine) and a bit of healing with fantastic ambient music from Slovakia. Via the postal we received an album from Emil Matko; he started Strom Noir in the beginning of 2007. We experienced the album ‘Luvyoo’ as a welcome treatment: super ambient, just take the time to switch that knob inside your head, don’t think but breathe in and out, the two tracks we play on this show really have that captured mood: “Nothing Really Happens” feels like the earth stands still and we’re watching ourselves from a distance. Second we visit the “Heartland” where past and present meet and greet.
- Where past and present meet and greet: Luvyoo gets 5 out of 5!
Some notes from the Strom Noir Myspace site:
…Music of Strom Noir flows between slow ambient and minimal electronic sounds with using electric and acoustic guitar loops and synths as a basis integrated with field recordings and various abstract sounds. The result of this mixture are the minimalistic atmospheric soundscapes strongly touched by the melancholy.

28 Jun 09 Senseo®Sundays ::: Forma Tadre :::
This sunday morning the City of Rotterdam was grey and misty… for a moment we thought we’re gonna see Autumn Leaves here! Such moments we dive into the archives of our music collection. Today we found: Forma Tadre. It has been on our minds to play on the podcast for years now. We had to play and record the music from a mini-disc to Logic first and now it’s here on the Senseo Sunday podcast. This album “Automate” can be filed under Experimental Ambient, Industrial Ambient. Brings back memories - “music that I first heard on a local radio station in 1995 in The Hague, TC” - It’s not exactly dinner music, it brings us dreamy and hypnotic loops and sounds, play @ high volume! Sunshine is getting through again, humidity at a very high level so we’ve got ourselves a sticky situation now.
Sticky situation: 26C and humidity at very high levels.
