Roaming the cosmos of the mind Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms help us to contemplate what it might be like To Sleep on Stellar Winds (60:02). The five tracks on their fourth collaboration probe celestial territory and draw us willingly into a remarkable realm of astral enchantment. Expressively played and exquisitely produced the character and energy of this work would seem to stray us into another person's dream. In a rush of tranquil tones,fragile fifes and dozing dawn dronesTo Sleep on Stellar Winds breathes more than manufactures music - as its shimmering synthesizers,luminous strings and sky-high melodies give rise to an ambient sigh of quiet captivation. With so many sounds in motion, from out of this ethereal movement arises easily a wondrous atmosphere of possibility. Fluxing flutes float gently above a torrent of cycling sequencer circuits - thus pacing the narrative to the length of a typical exhalation. It is on this human level that the listener is led across the continent of night, and to a radiant receptivity of beauty. In a collaboration zone of creative exploration, that which is imaginary one moment may become real the next - and suddenly we are in the company of something extraordinary. Often, a view into a new world will provide us with a greater understanding of our own. With its eloquent sonic shadows,impeccable instrumentation and attractive arranging, content are those who seek to dream,to drift, and To Sleep on Stellar Winds.
Please tune in to the 10.27.24 broadcast of STAR'S END Ambient Radio for music from To Sleep on Stellar Winds, the recent collaboration between Craig Padilla & Zero Ohms

Orbital Decay - Live-To-Air on STAR'S END 11.03.24
Existing on a plane outside the oppressive rush of modernity Orbital Decay quotes the classics of Kosmische Musik without mimicking them. Synthesist Terry Furber and guitarist Scott Watkins demonstrate a masterful grasp of the vintage gear around which the Spacemusic genre gravitates and explore the past in a new way. Creating layers of space with harmonies warm and golden, pumping sequencer patterns and strident lead lines, this duo explores the inner darkness of Electronic Music. Yet, out on the verge of ethereality their music gleams like new.
Orbital Decay will perform a two-hour live-to-air concert between 2:00am & 3:00am during the 3 November 2024 broadcast of Star's End. Remember to turn your clocks back an hour at the start of this concert as we return to standard time (check your local customs).
