Arcanum - Das Labirynth (2000)



Arcanum is the project of German musician Bernd Braun (born 1959 in Cologne), who first played guitar and bass in rock bands in the mid-1970's, moving on to semi-professional work, before changing his attention to synthesizers, first as a multi-instrumentalist and then with solo work under the guise of Arcanum.

Ian Boddy - Liverdelphia (2013)



“Liverdelphia” is a powerful work. A work where the musical duality spreads its veil of magnetism and where the listener is swallowed to be teleported in a sound universe to the measure of the immoderation of an artist to the visions as infinite as the musical meanders of his synths cables. A work where the cosmos of the vintages years is skilfully rediscovered, a work where the atmospheres get revitalize in rhythms as hard than pure, “Liverdelphia” will nail you in your dreams with a surprising dominance on your fascination."

Ombient - Sectio Aurea (2015)


Ombient is the moniker under which Mike Hunter performs his ambient/drone/experimental music.
"The CD Sectio Aurea (78'01") can hardly be contained by the room it is playing in. Mike Hunter (a.k.a. Ombient) finds inspiration in an almost mythical past of 1970s Berlin, while pursuing the present day's desire for modernity. Sectio Aurea is in part Hunter's own interpretation of the classic Departure From the Northern Wasteland - a further cultivation of Michael Hoenig's imaginings by a musician who recognizes the value of this work. Working in a genre often thought of as too dependent on hardware, Hunter explores the ways this music may convey the truth of complex subject matter. With a whirlwind intelligence in its glowing prime, he connects to strategies central to Spacemusicians across the globe. We are swept away by an enveloping sense of magic, forgetting for an instant our critical spirit. Electricity is transformed into sound through an impressive collection of vintage and modern modular synthesizers and keyboards. " (Chuck Van Zyl)
