My review of "Liveforms" CD by Oxyd

Relaxed Machinery Blogs - Sun, 02/19/2012 - 06:30

It's always a great pleasure to review album "Made in Slovakia" that is somehow related to ambient genre. Yes, of course both protagonists of Oxyd (and Disharmony), Lord Sauron and Ryby, always venture into other styles like industrial, electro, dark ambient or IDM, but why not to give a try to this richly…

My thoughts on "lost links" by Max Corbacho

Relaxed Machinery Blogs - Sat, 02/18/2012 - 05:14





Sensual and seductive. Two words that do not spring immediately to mind when seeking to describe an ambient release but ones that make sense... at least to me... when used to describe “lost links” by Max Corbacho from the…

Remembering Giordano Bruno (1548 - 17 Feb, 1600)

Relaxed Machinery Blogs - Fri, 02/17/2012 - 11:52

Today, 17 February, marks the anniversary of the death of a personal hero of mine - Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake by civil authorities in 1600 after the Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy for his pantheism, and for proposing that the Sun was essentially a star, and moreover, that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings.

In honor…

Sara and I aren't the most prolific duo - good thing we have other activities to lean on :^)

It's been a few years since anything of ours made it out of the woodshed, but that changed a few days ago when If We Had Known... was added to our Soundcloud page. In 'typical' Sampson - Ayers fashion, it's all voices.

Timeline from the Timeroom...

Relaxed Machinery Blogs - Thu, 02/16/2012 - 13:28

Many thanks for the birthday greetings, time flies when your in the soundcurrent! Here is a photo artifact of early analog man from Oct 1978.

A friend had 2 of those rare Synth A's suitcase synths you see here and I worked with them for about a year. They were great for opening up ideas for non keyboard based zoneworlds at the time, this spirit of adventure lives today in my current modular system.

The journey continues!…

Shifting personalities...

Relaxed Machinery Blogs - Thu, 02/16/2012 - 11:14

As a human being i am a multitude of personalities, I my core theres this eternal sense of being, on my outside theres a certain mode, a certain look, a certain emotion and some thoughts too. When i was younger i verbalized the goal of being congruent: being the same kind of person no matter what the circumstances might be. Now, many years later i know i have always been the same me at my core, but with different expressions and different thoughts according to the various situations. And…

2012: My "Hello, World!" Year

Relaxed Machinery Blogs - Wed, 02/15/2012 - 23:47

As I wrote in my blog entry American Dreaming, 2011 was in some ways a lost year for me, due to circumstances around my immigration to the USA, which stranded me in Toronto and separated me from my wife for nine months.

In musical terms, I made the best of it by temporarily becoming a laptop musician, since I was also separated from…
