'Frozen Waste' by Daryl Groetsch

The forthcoming new album 'Frozen Waste' by Daryl Groetsch is now featuring on Moon Phase Radio.

 

 

Portland, Oregon-based composer Daryl Groetsch’s output under the name Pulse Emitter forms a catalog of nearly one hundred physical releases since the early ‘00s. The full scope of his wide-ranging experiments in synthesis and electronic arrangement encompasses everything from expansive new age drift exercises, to purely textural noise sculpting, to post-Berlin School cybernetic prog compositions. Pulse Emitter approaches electronic composition from the perspective of a master craftsman, harnessing a fine-tuned sense of narrative development and a penchant for juxtaposing contrasting synth voices from far-flung corners of his arsenal of softsynths, app-based programs, and hardware instruments. While he conjures time-lapse vistas of galaxies and nebulas in our mind’s eye, the sophistication of his arrangements and the universal beauty of his harmonies pushes the lens inward on the self, resulting in a journey that is as personal and internal as it is celestial.

As of 2022, Daryl Groetsch has also been creating pure ambient space music under his birth name.

'Frozen Waste' is one half of twin albums being released on the 18th of July. Between now and then, MPR will be featuring five preview tracks from both albums, 'Gardens in Glass' and 'Frozen Waste'

Featured tracks:
1. Earth Tone
2. Frozen Waste
3. Centerless
4. In Blackness
5. Snow Covered Landscape

'Where Tides Defy the Moon' by Abandoned Toys

'Where Tides Defy the Moon', the latest album by Abandoned Toys, is now featuring on Moon Phase Radio.

 

 

Released on the 12th of May 2023 by Mythical Records.

'Where Tides Defy the Moon' is a beautiful combination of dramatic neoclassical arrangements and experimental dark ambient sound worlds.

Mythical Records are purveyors of fine art electronica music, experimental music, contemporary classical music, and ambient music. While their artists' aesthetics are experimental in nature, they primarily deal with professionally trained classical musicians, who have turned to a more experimental side of music, including stylings spanning the darkly decadent to the childlike dreams of fairy tales.
