Erik Wollo creates evocative electronic scores for the cinema of
sleep. The imaginative soundtracks on his CD ELEVATIONS
(65'09") conjure up vast panoramas and limitless horizons. The
music is spacious and uncluttered, and has a fresh and natural
quality to it. Elegant melodies wander through soundscapes of
gentle beats and take the listener from states of dreamlike
stillness, to frozen brilliance, to warm enchantment. Strikingly
similar to his exalted early works Traces and Images of Light,
ELEVATIONS opens up spaces and serenely fills them with
music. Wollo's signature use of shining, consonant chord
structures, tender melodic phrasing, and masterful sound
design are what give ELEVATIONS its adventurous and vibrant
character. These 12 deceptively simple compositions are a
reading of the spirit as Wollo infuses this work with his own
being. Through his guitar and synthesizers, the summoned
music arises, and Wollo's vaporous ideas chill into form.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from

Rudy Adrian Exclusive Live Concert Recording

With musical influences ranging from the floating spacemusic of
the Berlin-School to the breathing thought tones of the American
soundscape scene, Rudy Adrian's Sequencer Sketches series
is comprised of layered washes of gently drifting sound
accented by focused synth patterns and heraldic lead melodies.
His latest CD Par Avion is the 4th in this series and will be
released on 13 April 2007.

The 03.04.07 broadcast of STAR'S END will present 50 minutes
of unique live music created by Rudy Adrian exclusively for
STAR'S END. The majority of this music will never be released
on an album, nor will it ever be aired on radio again after this
broadcast. The music promises to be be an interesting mix of
sequencer sketches and atmospheric tracks created especially
for this radio event by Rudy Adrian in 2006.

TRANCEATLANTIC by AirSculpture

AirSculpture, the synth trio from the UK, made their east-coast
concert debut in Philadelphia at The Gatherings Concert Series
on 17 April 2004. Recordings of this concert, and that of their
STAR'S END live radio concert later that night, were fashioned
into the double CD TRANCEATLANTIC and released in Autumn
of 2005. With this work, AirSculpture explores the fabric of sound,
its range of subtleties and the dramatic possibilities of music
organized without a tonal center. The result is a cool
combination of inspired play, chance occurrence and the
magnification of minute shadings of sound.

Tune in to the 03.04.07 broadcast of STAR'S END for music from
TRANCEATLANTIC, the live CD by AirSculpture
