The Ambient Music Blog

Hi there, Jean Michel Jarre opened a blog where he is almost posting daily from his Oxygene 2008 tour, texts, pics and even videos from the tour.

Have a look there: Jean Michel Jarre Blog.

Artist musician Joshua Cloudt just released a Ambient / lofi album called “These Melting Hours” under the name Cloaca Cadabra.

You can download the full record as high quality mp3.

Worth giving it a go, very mellow and a lot of good stuff, from very short and cinematic pieces to more elaborate and long tracks.

You can also find other and different songs on the artist MySpace page.

Just discovered this Italian artist, PiereCall (real name Gennaro Giugliano) from Napoli who is doing some really good ambient / Berlin school music with heavy influences from musicians like Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream.

Pierecall released a lot of songs for you to listen or download as his SoundClick page is listing more than 150 songs for example ! He also have a blog with some videos where you can see him performing some of his tunes.

Ok, after this one we’ll change a little bit of subject, but to wish Klaus a better health soon and because I’m so disappointed the concert was canceled, here is one live video from 1997 :

Hi all, very sad news but the concerts in Paris and Bologna of Klaus Schulze are canceled, so you won’t see the master.

Official statement:

Both KLAUS SCHULZE concerts - Paris and Bologna - are canceled.
Unexpected for everybody, Klaus Schulze’s doctor told Klaus today
that it is impossible for him to travel and give concerts.

4th of April:
Sincere thanks to all of you who wrote us and wishes Klaus Schulze all the best.

Some necessary answers to your worries and questions:

Klaus condition at the moment is not good,
but please don’t panic: it’s not as dangerous as some of you seem to fear.

I repeat: the doctor warned him seriously not to travel and give concerts, in his present weak condition.

Many also ask about Schulze’s participation in the “Loreley” festival:
Of course we cannot look into the future. But KS wants to do this concert.
Hopefully (and I’m quite sure) he will be fit again then. After all, it’s still three months ahead.

The NTNS (Not That Normal Shit) radio show just put a download page up for download the best of music that was played during the first 3 month of 2008 of the show.

Available as mp3 under Creative Commons you can download and listen individual tracks as well the complete stuff. Distributed under the NNTS name for the best of the NTNS radio !

Have fun !
