Tommasi

In Iceland, Thomas Stankiewicz contemplates the constant flux of the elements. A composer & musician in his own right, he selectively weaves in between soundtracks, classical music, and evocative ambient sounds, symphonically unveiling untold stories from past and future… @tommmasi

IN FOCUS: VELVET UNDERGROUND

There's an old Brian Eno quote that is inevitably referenced when talking about the Velvet Underground - something along the lines of "They only sold 30,000 copies of their first album, but everyone who bought the album started a band". It's slightly inaccurate (they sold a lot more copies), but the message is clear: few bands have had such an outsized, potent, and wide reaching effect on the musicians that followed in their footsteps. Their stubborn desire to continually approach songwriting from the left field, and continuous sonic reinvention reverberated for decades, influencing punk, post-punk, art rock, ambient music, even notably influencing real political revolution in Czechoslovakia. Two hours of The Velvets' best, selected and mixed by Claire Rousay.

Orkiestra Ósmego Dnia

Orkiestra Ósmego Dnia

Orkiestra Ósmego Dnia has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 7 February 2016. Orkiestra Ósmego Dnia's music has been featured on 12 episodes.

Orkiestra Ósmego Dnia - polish project (Orchestra of the 8th Day). The first two albums are ambiental works with acoustic sounds and electronic backgrounds. The title of the first album translates to "Music For the End". The third album (Waiting For Halley's Comet) from 1985 is a dark electronic work for synthesizers and soprano. Supposedly, great. The fourth album is for synthesizers, soprano and tenor & is rather cacophonous work, overall. The leader Jan AP Kaczmarek is well-known composer of film music. In 2005 he received the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Original Score for Finding Neverland, directed by Marc Forster.

discography:

Muzyka na koniec (1982) At the Last Gate (1984) Czekajac na komete Halleya (1985) California In Blue (1994)
