Music by Between Interval (aka Stefan Jonsson) should be taken
along with a cup of midnight. His CD AUTUMN CONTINENT
(72'59") soaks up the darkest beams of moonlight and moves
the listener away from daylight thinking, towards something
stranger - something more unknown. The musical outline of this
work takes on hues of grey and purple as dense drones and
thick pads sustain the long line. Separated by vast openings of
rumbling and writhing synthesizer tones are three intriguing
sequencer pieces. Rising out of the fog enshrouded negative
space, the deceptively simple cycling patterns are quite elegant
and suggest mysterious noir themes. Comprised of electronic
rhythms, tuned crystal, Rhodes piano and hammered dulcimer,
these pieces subtly combine unlikely elements to conjure up an
unidentifiable foreign ambience - a place where we feel no
shadows. AUTUMN CONTINENT opens itself to the night. It
creates a space for reverie and a time to think about what you
are feeling and to feel what you are thinking.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for new music from
AUTUMN CONTINENT, the latest CD by Between Interval

STAR'S END Radio Concert Archives - Orbital Decay

Since 1979, Terry Furber (synths) and Scott Watkins (guitar) have
been creating electronic music out of their studio in Quakertown,
PA. Known as Orbital Decay, the duo chose their name as
homage to Skylab's fiery return to earth. In addition to the space
program, Furber and Watkins have been influenced profoundly
by Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Pink Floyd and the
multitude of music and artists emerging out of this experimental
school. While referencing the spacemusic of the '70s, Orbital
Decay charts unexplored territory in both sound and in mood.

Orbital Decay has produced several self-released CDs of music
realized out of their lengthy home studio jams. Soon after these
discs found their way onto broadcasts of STAR'S END, the duo
were invited to present their talents live on the air as part of this
program's ongoing efforts to bring live spacemusic
performances to the intimate listening environment of the late
night radio audience. Subsequently, Orbital Decay has
performed live at the Soundscapes, Gate to Moonbase Alpha,
Feedback and The Gatherings Concert Series' as well as on
several more broadcasts of STAR'S END. Tune in to STAR'S
END this weekend for an excerpt from their on-air concert of
10.30.05.

Orbital Decay returns to STAR'S END for a live in-studio radio
concert on the 10.29.06 broadcast for the annual two hour "Back
In Time" concert to mark the return to Standard Daylight Time
and the turning back of all clocks one hour.
