Megan Alice Clune is a musician, composer and artist based in Eora (Sydney). Her recent release, If You Do, became an album for solo voice and an ensemble of technologies. An album about contorting the body (voice) through time (rhythm, pulse), repetition and form. The work is nostalgic for past futures: wishing for the technological optimism of the late 70’s and early 80’s.

Sam Goldberg is an INCREDIBLE experimental ambient musician from Cleveland, Ohio. He also runs the label Pizza Night. In the late naughties he released stunning works under his own name, as Radio People and teaming up with John Elliot (Emeralds) as Mist. He uses guitars and synths to weave mesmerising compositions. On this edition of the Quiet Space we focus on his recent work under the name Eternal Plough plus dive deep into his back catalog. Essential Listening!

John Mulville has been making music as Paperbark since 2016. Making these gorgeous ambient sounds helps him process memories. His latest for Constellation Tatsu is What Was Left Behind, full of light, a fluttering soundscape .

Dictaphone are a Belgian-German band with mastermind Oliver Doerell at the helm and they return with their fifth album “Goats & Distortions 5” on the always reliable Denovali imprint. Oliver Doerell again teams up with Roger Döring (clarinet & saxophone) & Alex Stolze (violins) to create a gorgeously melancholic sound, blending “morbid acoustic instruments” with electronics. On this edition a special blended selection of the latest work with previous gems. Essential listening.

This episode looks at the Distant Bloom imprint, with a focus on the latest from Software Creator and AI Explorer, Dr Norah Lorway. Distant Bloom is her latest release, a delicate sound palette from radio samples, field recordings and code. These pieces are melancholy transmissions from an alternate spacetime continuum, coated in layers of hiss and static from interdimensional interference, full of strange emotion and yearning from another world just beyond our grasp, perhaps a kinder world than the one in which we find ourselves. As well, other excellent releases from Distant Bloom make up this episode of the Quiet Space.

Tobias Karlehag is a multi-instrumentalist and sound artist from Gothenburg, Sweden. With his solo project he creates spacious ambient and drone music through algorithmic compositions and improvisation. In his debut album ‘Process’ he shapes a still and meditative state with modular synths, electric guitar and various electronics with underlying narratives. We’ll also feature other wonderful releases from the Past Inside The Present label on this episode of the Quiet Space.

Originally born in London to mixed Indian/British heritage, Simon McCorry trained in cello at The Centre for Young Musicians & Morley College then studied philosophy at Durham University, he is now based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. His work is a rich combination of field recordings, adept loop based cello compositions and atmospheric improvisations that explore the rich sonic possibilities of the cello through a host of treatments and effects chains. His latest album for the excellent Polar Seas label is our feature as we also take stock of some of their amazing other releases from this year.

Under the name Panabrite, Seattle-based electronic musician Norm Chambers makes incredibly emotional and lush music through his love of analog synthesizers. His work draws from early new age, kosmische, and library music. In recent times, Norm has been going through some hardship with his health. I wanted to dedicate this show to his amazing talent and inspirational music. Visit his bandcamp site and help support this amazing artist.
