Next WAVES featuring The Quietist

From time to time I like to feature some artists as special guests on my show. Most of them provide their own mixes, but some are just producers. This time on the next WAVES show I will present Ambient artist The Quietist who is hailing from Northern England. He produces music ranging from drone Ambient to classical music with strings and vowl singing. But mind you, The Quietist is always about the big reverb, the big hall sound, while being musically minimalistic.

The Quietis - Avatar

Here’s what he has to say about himself:

My name is Phil Ward and I live on the Wirral in the North west of England.

I have listened to ambient music and electronic music since I was a child – I was first inspired by Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and The Art of Noise. As the ambient scene developed I listened to The Orb, Orbital, Future Sound of London and artists on the Warp label. Most recently I have enjoyed Pete Namlook’s FAX label and the long open soundscapes created by Tetsu Inoue. I also enjoy meditation music and natural sounds.

I am striving to create something beautiful. I usually improvise when I find an instrument or noise I like and gently build on top, layer by layer. I edit after I have listened to the track on headphones a few times. Generally my first take is the best – I like to feel the music and be taken on its journey as I write. I often feel that the music writes itself!

So in the first hour there will be tunes by The Quietist and the second will feature some Ambient, some Chillout, some beat music that reflects all the relaxation you need on your Sunday. I hope you will tune into FriskyRadio CHILL on Sunday, March 1st, 2020, at 7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. CET!

And if you like the music, you can still head over to The Quietist – Bandcamp and buy his music for very little money!

Epiphany of Sound – Top 100 of 2010s (Part 2)

Putting together the Epiphany of Sound series with the best tracks of the 2010s was a big task. The first mix covered most progressive tracks, so the second part is making the transition to the more energetic music. It is just over 2 hours of general Trance, some classical like Sean Mathews Paradise or the Suncatcher remix of Leave The Light On, some pointing to more uplifting Trance like Robert Nickson’s Somewhere In Spacetime or Daniel Kandi’s Change The World. One track that had to be in is the melodic, melancholic monolith that is Time To Rest, which Andy Blueman remade himself in 2011.

All over this mix shows how diverse trance has been in the 2010s and it creates some appetite for the uplifting episodes!

So press play and enjoy!

Epiphany of Sound – Top 100 of 2010s (Part 1)

Epiphany of Sound has been a podcast mostly set in the 2010s. I started it around 2013 and it is still a journey I enjoy very much!

Now that the 2010s have ended my mate Magdelayna inspired me to look for tracks that I find the most inspiring, the best tracks of the decade. He tried to figure out his Top 20 and I tried the same after him but I couldn’t do it. There are just so many outstanding, amazing tunes that I put together the best 100 tracks. The first part sets sail with more progressive melodic tracks from the likes of Cosmic Gate, Juventa, Dimension, Estiva or epic and yet groovy Skylarking by BT.

These are the first 14 tracks and there will be 4 parts following in the next days and weeks!

Waves – 10 Years Anniversary feat. Xeuphoria

Writing it down, but I still can’t believe it: On the next Sunday I will have my 10-year-anniversary with Waves on FriskyRadio! I’ve had so many great shows, so many touching moments – be it with other artists or some fans. I’ve had great guests artist on my show and played so many fascinating and soothing tunes, but this time it will be different once again!

Monty Hancock aka Xeuphoria

Located in Southern England is the chillout and piano musician Xeuphoria who produces and plays instruments alike. I asked him about being my guest and he delivered a stunning performance of 1 hour piano improvisation! I guess, this will be on heavy rotation for me for quite some time.

So at first you will hear this hour of pure piano and after that I will play you some of the best Trance Ambient tunes you have heard. Just last year I delivered a similar set, but there are more amazing tracks to be played!

Be prepared for this week’s Waves to crash down on you on Sunday, February 2nd, 2020 at 7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. CET on the FriskyRadio CHILL channel! Frisky also interviewed me about my anniversary.

Timetable

7 a.m. EST / 1 p.m. CET Xeuphoria
8 a.m. EST / 2 p.m. CET Addliss
