STAR'S END Update 4 May 2025
ReappearanceHelene Vogelsinger Throughout the realm occupied by Hélène Vogelsinger The Universe does bend favorably. Exerting her powers of mind and spirit to the utmost this passionate Electronic Musician has realized and released Reappearance (41:17). Teeming with light, life and movement its six tracks head each across an expanse of synthesized sound toward new prospects on the horizon. We are invited along, to imagine a journey of self-discovery within this dream of an album. The music confronts us, rather than the other way around. In equal measure a shadowy fiction and beautiful truth, Reappearance rises from its whirling drift of electrical current in a form of expression beyond conventional contexts. As cycling sequencer patterns produce dream-like atmospherics Vogelsinger punctuates her arrangements with flashes of unrestrained, pure vocal tones. The repeating structures spin steadily through light and dark, pulling the listener into deeper levels of their own mind. Where obedient motoring rhythms give rise to a palpable sense of propulsion, looming sonic shadows condone an air of disquiet. Fluttering and unstable, then penetrating and true Reappearance produces a sense of movement to be heard and felt. Prompting our imaginative engagement this work evokes emotions and human feelings that are underscored by symbolic elements in these liveliest of modular synth soundscapes. More than a musical genre, Electronic Music is a philosophy. Its meaning lies in the expansion of freedom, and when freedom expands, consciousness expands - into forms of the future.

WXPN/STAR'S END 2025 Member Listening Session
Chuck van Zyl/Ian Boddy/XPN Members

Those making a donation during the 02.23.25 fundraising broadcast of Star's End were among the first to receive an invitation to register and attend an exclusive Spacemusic Listening Session lead by long-time Star's End host Chuck van Zyl. The group was introduced to a select range of early album releases significant to the establishment and elevation of this most unique form of contemporary Electronic Music, and joined briefly via the Internet for additional commentary by UK synthesist Ian Boddy. The session culminated in the focused spinning of the 1975 classic Rubycon by Tangerine Dream.

The WXPN/Star's End Spacemusic Listening Session took place on Saturday 26 April 2025 in the intimacy of WXPN's Performance Studio in Philadelphia. Thanks to everyone who attended! and for your support!
