ja das ist richtig. troum kommen urspr?nglich aus leer, leben aber seit jahren in bremen. sie waren einst zu dritt und nannten sich maeror tri.
der dritte hat mitlerweile ein soloprojekt namens 1000schoen, unter dessen namen er sowohl musik als auch bilder produziert. er wohnt ebenfalls in bremen.
die musik ist ?brigens auch sehr zu empfehlen.

a propos maeror tri... hier ein k?rzlich gefundener link zum nachlass von zns-tapes. dort gibt es ein ?lteres tape MT legal herunterzuladen (und noch vieles andere sch?ne mehr): http://zns.gewalt-am-objekt.org/
Von allseits:
was heisst hier modernste technik. bis vor kurzem wurde noch mit ner alten bandmaschine aufgenommen...die ist jetzt schrott....und der rest des equipments ist auch nich gerade das neueste. woher nimmst du deine informationen?
Von DarkAmbient:
Ja, die Technik. Was mir gestern beim Live-Auftritt aufgefallen ist: Da kommt scheinbar noch eine ganze Ecke mehr r?ber, als auf einigen Tontr?gern. Eigentlich denkt man ja, die Sound-Qualit?t bei 'Studio'-CDs sollte besser sein als live. Bei Troum ist es offensichtlich genau anders herum. Jedenfalls kann ich mir kaum vorstellen, dass die Sachen f?r die Ver?ffentlichung mit 24 Bit digital gemastert werden -- es gibt ja wohl auch nicht viel zu mischen... naja, vielleicht lag der Eindruck auch nur an den vier Bier...
Kann mich irren, aber ich glaube hier handelt es sich um Analog-Fanatiker, und der Schwerpunkt der k?nstlerischen T?tigkeit liegt darin, zu versuchen einen Klang in knarzigen Effektger?ten ein zu fangen, zig-fach zu loopen und zu multiplizieren und dabei selbst Analog-Technik derart zu ?berfordern, dass die Musik klingt wie durch einen schmalen Kanal wahrgenommen, der aber nicht nur durch die Technik begrenzt wird, sondern sich verl?ngert und auch die Grenzen des menschlichen H?rverm?gens (womit beides gemeint ist: physioakustische und psychoakustische Rezeption) schmerzhaft erahnen l?sst.
Vielleicht ist es dieser schmale Kanal in eine andere Klangdimension, der die Kompensation der vagen 'Undeutungen' durch die Phantasie erfordert und damit die Sehnsucht ausmacht, die diese Musik induziert: Nicht nur die Sehnsucht nach besserer Technik, sondern auch nach dem ?berschreiten der Beschr?nkungen der menschlichen Seele, nach einer Harmonie, die diese Musik vielleicht bewusst nur in Form eines deutlichen Abklatsches eines nie erreichbaren 'Wahren' reproduziert. Und mit diesem unwahreren Sound machen Troum vielleicht die bessere Musique concr?te...
... was mich nicht abhalten soll, sicher noch einmal einem Gig beizuwohnen, um dem Wahren doch noch wieder etwas n?her zu sein.

RefreshDark Ambient Radio recommends the VLC Media Player -- it's available for Linux, Windows & Mac
For half a year I was working on a new radio setup that no longer requires me to maintain a Windows 10 virtual machine on my poor Mac Mini. Now ezstream is up and running on a Linux Debian VM without the former waste of resources (the Mac's power consumtion has halved since). This is not completely due to the inefficiency of Windows as a VM but also due to ezstream not recoding the mp3s on the fly to 192 kbit/s. I had to recode each and every track manually beforehand for this to work, sometimes ripping the tracks from CD again to maintain high quality. I think, it was worth the effort.
You, as a listener, shouldn't notice any difference, except that hopefully there shouldn't be so much downtimes any more and that crossfading won't take place any longer. If you experience too much silence before or after a track -- or a too abrubt transition between tracks -- leave me a note and I will edit the track(s) manually using mp3DirectCut.
I just wanted to repair the Recently Played Tracks list that was displayed wrong on the site but got in the flow... The site should now be much more readable on mobile phones. And if you ever wanted to post DAR's URL on a social network: The site now has got an open graph image that is being added automatically to the post:
Problems with the Shoutcast Service / The DAR Review Workflow
Sorry for the program interruption you are currently experiencing. I try to solve it but Viastreaming support currently isn't responding.
In the meantime, I'm still further preparing the change of the radio software. Maybe this has some effect on the problem.
While in need of some more fruitful task, I vibecoded my proven review workflow into a little app that should speed up the process of adding new music to the stream. This is how it looks:
redeem review code with Bandcamp (optionally drop zip or folder to the album list on the left)
unzip album to a folder
archive it in original kbit/s
recode to 192 kbit/s (using ffmpg)
normalize to 86 dB (using mp3gain)
normalize artist or album title (there are really many keyboards with stuck caps lock key around)
put it in my review folder
decide which tracks to accept and which to reject
finally move the reviewed album folder with the accepted tracks to the airplay folder
I currently don't provide binaries: This is quite a special drill and people most likely want to adapt their own steps. If you need help or encounter some problem, open an issue on Github.
The New York City based coop Subvert 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...
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!
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
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.
Cover art in ID3 tags seemed to interfere with ezstream, leading to invalid frames sent to the Shoutcast server. We will see how long Shoutcast will make it this time...
It's done! First track playing with ezstream: solsidia Terasol - Viisiteur Du Fond.
Bye bye SAM Broadcaster! Still Have to fix the Recently Played Tracks list though...
