One of the more potent listening modes as of late here in the mothership is Holodeck Scenario, a hybrid of free electronics and jazz arranged by M. Sage, optimized for playback in Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s beloved virtual reality facility. Last week, the sequence received a proper sequel, transmitted over the airwaves of Newtown Radio and hopefully well beyond, to the cocktail lounges of another dimension. Holodeck Upgrade, which opens Episode 42, is a gift we’ll accept on behalf of Quark’s Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade, a popular hangout in Deep Space 9‘s Promenade. The tracklist must not have made it through the Transporter, but the set runs as follows:

Hour One – Holodeck Upgrade
Hour Two – Holodeck Scenario

Excluding one Russian dance cut from 1986, Episode 41 fixes forward, on this our 2016th year in the Common Era. Much of the selection previews albums nearing release: modular synth sculptor Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, harpist Mary Lattimore, Philly’s Japanese Breakfast, and the highly anticipated return of Jessy Lanza, to name a few.

Pianoworks

For a collection spanning nine years and a number of locations, Beau Sorenson’s Pianoworks feels remarkably fluid and whole. Its nine pieces were captured with multi-track tape recorder and processed through analog and digital techniques (all listed at bandcamp with detail befitting of the accomplished engineer/producer/mixer). Under these treatments, the piano becomes pliable; contemplative and cinematic when sharp, other times subdued and distorted into dark noise.

Pianoworks is out now, self-released on cassette.

E40 – MAYMIND Mix & Sascha Muhr Mix

An episode, the 40th of its kind, featuring night music from two vantages:

Let’s begin inside the first hour: after a short freeform sequence (including new sounds from Yaman Palak and Cross Record), there’s “Most Nights, Late”, a downtempo walk home/come down courtesy of MAYMIND. This dates back to last October, where Leo tastefully DJed our church show with Portals, and (because he’s an exceptional person) even prepared a mix to share ahead of the evening. Lost in the pre-event hustle, it never did air—until this week, conveniently in sync with the release of his debut EP on New Kanada.

Fifteen minutes into the second hour, the nocturne shifts toward a set by Sascha Muhr. When sending over this dark, cerebral suite, the experimental producer described a night of spiraling excess on the streets of Tübingen, Germany.
