Do you want to listen to some relaxing cascades of piano playing against unsettling low-key ambient electronica? You do? Well that's handy for all of us. Swod are the German duo of Oliver Doerell and Stephan Wohrmann, and they appear to be far more popular than I realised. I've only recently heard of them, but apparently everyone already knew how good they were. And didn't tell me. You've got to cut that out, you know. Fugitif 1 is the opening track of their 2004 album Gehen , you lucky bastards. [...]

If you're looking for a post modern chilled vibe to ease away the pain the look no further that "Drei" by Swod . The German duo (Oliver Doerell and Stephan Wohrmann to their mothers) combine classic style piano with guitar along with field recordings and vocal samples to produce beautiful results. This, their third album, is their best and really marks them out as being at the top of the neo classic electronica tree. Music that you can really immerse yourself in, letting it surround you and you explore it many layers. [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] Its a difficult task to keep up with any genre especially if you're always in need of something fresh, the post classical realm is by far one of my favorites that I don't dig deep enough in and sit with an album. I usually have a stash of artists that I rely on to get me what I want, Jacaszek is one of them, if you can't tell by his name he's Polish which makes me favor him since i'm from there. Always on the darker side yet doesn't [...]

I often like to click on ISO50 commenters links connected to their names just to see what there all about and recently clicked on AndresM and found out what they(I guess a couple shares this account? :] ) wanted for Christmas hah, It was this close to affordable alternative to a Super 8mm video camera but in digital called a Zumi . Here is a pretty decent example of footage, not bad for the 170USD price tag: Now for the music, I think everyone will be very [...]

It seems that the classical/electronic combo is becoming its own genre with a strong European bent; but trust me, I'm not going to complain of an over saturation of icily beautiful scores. It's been quite a few years since Oliver Doerell and Stephan Wohrmann's debut put a huge mark on the genre and their follow-up Sekunden seems well worth the wait. A heavy center on the piano, cut through with elements of jazz and organic stabs of electronic gimmickry, Sekunden 's temper is calm without becoming stagnant. Puddles of ease give way to snaky passages of restrained [...]

Photo credit: Elisa Tagliati To complete this trilogy we've now come to the ending of the sleep cycle. In the previous chapter Asleep Eternally there was all the time in world to wrap ourselves in the night's dark and serene setting, but now it's time to start a new day. Currently one of my favourite albums of this year (Sam Baker / Pretty World) features a wonderful song about the moments just before waking up. Before the sun Before the heat Before we untangle from our [...]
