Momentan gespieltes Stück: Musica Cthulhiana Kommentar anzeigen - Dr. Gorgo
Kommentare zum Künstler/Projekt 'Musica Cthulhiana'
Von DarkAmbient:One nice discovery of the year 2010 was Fragment by Musica Cthulhiania aka G?tz M?ller-D?rholt. The project humbly devotes itself to produce background music for horror roleplaying games, to be more specific for the 'Call of Cthulhu' RPG published by Pegasus Spiele GmbH. (If you are not familiar with this and you like web comics, try The Unspeakable Vault of Doom to get some enlightenment.) The reason I post this little review is because this release deserves a bit more attention than as a game supplement. The style is described as "Dark-ambient, doom-jazz, horror-electronic and strange noises. Drone to minimal melodies." And just alone for bringing dark ambient together with jazz (like in the track Onncult), this little masterpiece deserves to be noticed. But there is more to be discovered in the 25 tracks of the 2CD -- just as the announcement promises. For example, the track 'Arkham Sanatorium' curiously reminds me of some sounds used in another hommage to Lovecrafts works: "The Music of Erich Zann" by Forma Tadre.

Not only is the content of high quality -- one easily recognizes the years of work (and probably self-experimentation during horror roleplaying). The marketing is quite smart as well as the release comes in three different versions:

A free 5-track-download (EP).
A 20-track mp3 download from the projects online shop.
A 25-track 2CD version to be ordered from the online shop.

But I've written enough. You can download the EP right away now and listen for yourself. But be warned: You will most likely soon find out that the EP is not enough and want more! Wink

(Sorry, if I sounded like a salesman, but I'm currently just just convinced. Please forgive my enthusiasm, should Fragment disappoint you.)

Dark Ambient Radio supports coops

   Subvert Coop Logo

The New York City based coop aims at being an artist-owned replacement for Bandcamp. Bandcamps recent ownership changes has raised doubts that the platform still can be trusted. Maybe subvert.fm is worth giving it a try...

Update: Another coop project is resonate:

Umzug Webspace

Webspace moved. Site still under reconstruction.

Baustelle

Please have a little bit more patience.

Stream Online Again
public domain icon checkmark

The radio stream is online again. Sorry for the disruption.
DAR recommends:

Dark Ambient Radio Vol. 4 released
DAR Vol 4 cover art

From Saturday on, it will be available for 6? on Bandcamp. All money goes to the contributing artists (after taxes, of course).

We worked on the release the bigger part of the year 2022. Everything is mixed & mastered with love. We hope to give you a piece of solace in this dark time of the year. Enjoy!

Problems with Winamp last two weeks
It seems many people still use Winamp to listen to the stream.

Two weeks ago, my radio software SAM Broadcaster began to create unaccaptable bad sound and I wasn't able to solve it. So I looked for an alternative and found a nice freeware: RadioDJ. Because the AltaCast plugin didn't work with the AAC+ encoder, I needed to connect RadioDJ to the stand-alone version of AltaCast via a virtual audio cable (VB-Audio). Getting it running was a rather painful experience.

But I got complaints from Winamp users being not able to listen to the stream anymore. So I requested some technical support to get SAM Broadcaster running again. This is how it looks, btw., a user interface style from 20 years ago:

I think, I will switch to a Linux server somewhere in the far future and use Opus instead of AAC+. Hopefully more people have abandoned Winamp by then. But maybe bandwidth will be cheap enough to provide a mp3 stream for nostalgic reasons. :-p

The Internet Archive
It's the 1st of December and many organizations put their hat on the data highway and beat the drums to collect donatins.

A special case this year is the San Francisco based Internet Archive that wants to make a backup of its collection in Canada -- maybe to escape the reach of a Trumpian administration.
Since many years now, before soundcloud or even MySpace existed, I always found some pearls when I delved into the audio library. It seems to be the best place to carve something in stone on the internet. So if you have some bugs left in your pocket and you are thinking about donating it for some good cause, consider good old archive.org.

I wish you all a nice contemplative winter time!
Downtime again
Sorry for the little downtime today. My ISP now seems to work seriously on the problem, so it won't happen soon again.
Downtime
Sorry for the downtime. The broadcasting software crashed after the Spacial streaming server went offline.

Now you will only get DAR using the Viastreaming link:

http://s3.viastreaming.net:8835/listen.pls

The good thing is that databases like Shoutcast or Reciva might update the link soon.
New streaming provider / more slots soon
Dark Ambient Radio moves from Spacial to Viastreaming. Soon the slot number will be increased from 50 to 60 to overcome the weekend congestions.
