New album, 'Messages' by Joerg Dankert is now featuring on Moon Phase Radio.
Joerg Dankert is a composer, musician, recording artist and fan of Berlin School music since the early seventies. In 2021, he published his first album at bandcamp.
The latest album by Joerg Dankert, released on November 26th 2022, was inspired by Shortwave listening as a child and also in the present times.
"The story of this album is both old and up to date, because with the Ukraine war on my doorstep I rediscovered an old hobby, listening to shortwave. There you can always hear radio, Morse and data traffic from various military and their services. Number transmitters that send out coded messages in different languages. There used to be countless of them and some with interesting identifiers, such as melodies and tone sequences. Yes, they have become fewer, but they are still there.
I heard some of the news broadcast during the Ukraine war, recorded it and incorporated it into the music. Some melodies and sounds are the result of inspiration from listening.
The songs were created between March and November 2022, whereby the shortwave recordings were either recorded live by me and my shortwave radio or via the digital shortwave receiver of the University of Twente in the Netherlands, which is accessible to everyone on the Internet".
