Danielle Nia 08.03.24

With a warm-blooded wiring Danielle Nia connects to a constellation of charged, storied machines - devices meant to set the inner workings of the mind into motion. Casting their spell of consonance and dissonance in alternating currents and continuous voltages, humming with energy and creativity this patch cord poet fearlessly imagines a future full of freedom and possibility - a new age hopefully within our reach.

Please tune in for details and/or stream on Youtube.

Please Note:

Huron 08.10.24

Johnny Lancia realizes blissed-out ambient works and concerts under the name Huron. His music is filled with heady drones and novel rhythms that reflect his love of the natural world - filtered through a variety of modular synthesizers, analog electronics and digital manipulation processes. His array of synthesizers, samplers and effects offer a paradise of hidden synergies, and conspire with the composer to suggest a kind of beautiful, untouchable realm.

Huron returned to STAR'S END on the broadcast of 10 August 2025, as part of Space Camp 2025. Please tune in for details.

Joe Aliberti 08.17.25

Joe Aliberti is a Baltimore-based composer and electronic musician. Drawing from ambient, drone and space music his work utilizes hardware synthesizers and effects to create sounds that evoke contemplation and calm. Developing his music for over eight years, he has recently gained more visibility through local performances and collaborations. Such contemplative endeavors radiate emotional waves that seem to go on forever, bearing a tone remarkable and consoling.

Joe Aliberti debuts on STAR'S END on the broadcast of 17 August 2025, as part of Space Camp 2025. Please tune in for details and/or stream live on Youtube.

Philadelphia based multi-instrumentalist Neil Cippon explores the ambient atmospheres possible with his six string electric bass. Using various pedals, filters, loopers and delays combined with synthesizer textures and Berlin-School sequencing his soundscapes send the listener in an outward direction along an arc of original sounds, designs and moods.

Neil Cippon returns to STAR'S END on the broadcast of 24 August 2025, as part of Space Camp 2025. Please tune in for details and/or stream live on Youtube.
