Facetten

feldhus Leave a comment

Following Nox, Planetarium introduces another series capturing one essence of its former mixes. The Lumen series is the exact opposite of Nox, chiming in with the aural equivalent of pure brightness, the sun, the daylight, constructing euphoric soundscapes. A lot of Planetarium’s origins in Serenades and Night Hawk Radio shone a light on the aspects of the cinematic ambient and modern classical that dares to explore dynamics, higher levels of treble and such. Starting with the pilot, Facetten, I will return to this sort of music more regularly now.

Waves crashing at Planetarium bay: The likes of Kenji Kihara, Ryosuke Miyata and Olan Mill are at the forefront of this set with their maritime ambient style. They’re joined by ILUITEQ, Poemme and newcomer Filalete who present the brighter and airy tracks. Ian Nyquist closes this mix – extended from the 1-hour FRISKY broadcast – with a stunning double feature from his latest album on eilean which will certainly be spearheading this year’s “best of”.

Schreine

Neptunian returns as a regular Mixcloud series with sun-drenched ambient to bring you through the cold and dark winter days.
The 1-hour monthly broadcasts will now appear unedited after 2-3 weeks delay. Also the Planetarium release frequency is down to every 10 days instead of weekly. This is due to less time I can spent on production this year. I hope to be back in full force in the last quarter of 2019.
