Lesath , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
Locked in his dark cell, Greg lay awake in bed, fidgeting with the small cassette recorder, pressing the rewind and stop buttons to listen to the heavy click and spring-loaded clank that initiated and punctuated the faint whirring mechanics. He knew well enough no one was going to come looking for him - not while he was in between jobs, living in a four-door pickup truck, and had traveled to an undisclosed location without telling anyone.What brought him here were rumors of an abandoned building there that was said to be part of a black site - rumors that were circulated amongst truckers and drifters: some exaggerated the sinister aspect of the place, detailing with morbid relish the methods of enhanced interrogation that were being developed or deployed there, while others assumed the contrarian position and downplayed the horrors, if not downright dismissed the whole story as hyperbole.Questionable as the lead was, the story seemed too good for an amateur journalist like Greg to pass up. All the same, he did not expect there would be some truth to those rumors, that the building is not quite derelict as he had imagined. And that, thanks to a case of mistaken identity, he was now incarcerated there as an inmate.Greg stopped the rewinding mechanism when he detected rustling and soft thumps coming through the ceiling vent - or thought he did, since the quirky nature of unidentified noise is that it usually ceases whenever one stops to listen. Like a living body, no running building is without its small, unaccountable bumps and muffled clanks; yet even if they're mostly benign noise, at night, they're magnified by the ever-present hush, and their unfamiliarity never fails to inflame the imagination of the sleepless newcomer. Lesath is a psychological thriller that pays tribute to classic gothic fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neil Hellegers.

Classical Music Meets Middle-Eastern Motifs
This is a recording of a benefit concert for cancer held on January 29, 2009, featuring my original music compositions and dedicated to the memory of my parents. What is my music about? In short, it is an intertwining of east and west. You see, I make a Persian dish at home, called 'Gondi', a ball that is cooked in soup made of roast chickpea flour and ground meat. And I also make a western Jewish 'Ashkenazi' dish, called 'Knaidelach', a ball that is cooked in soup but made of ground matsah flour and eggs. I combine all of the ingredients - those of the 'Gondi' and those of the 'Knaidelach', and in our household, we eat 'Gondelach'! My children are also 'Gondelach' and my music is also 'Gondelach'! Sometimes there is symbolism in my music. For example, in Quartet Monir, named after my dear sister-in-law, who unfortunately succumbed to cancer at an early age, the music symbolizes a beautiful but frightened and worried bird in a cage, fidgeting for it's soul to be released from suffering. In the Carmel Market, the odd combination of instruments I have chosen for the ensemble represents haggling at the open market, with the double bass wanting the 'lowest price' and the flute the 'highest'. In the Scherzo ('a joke'), I purposely gave the cello open notes that it can play at full resonance as if 'laughing from the belly', while making the poor clarinet play the same notes in it's weakest register as if 'he didn't get the joke at all', a common predicament among new immigrants the world over. And some of my music simply takes small motifs from Persian, Yemenite, Hassidic or Arabic music, while fitting them into a western classical form.- Shop: odax

Midsummer
Recorded in 2010 at Townend Studios (Berlin), Klangwolke (Berlin), OrBeat-Studios (Berlin), Eastgate-Studios (Vienna) Track 1 and 5 produced by Quaeschning/Heidemann Track 2 by Beator Track 3 by Quaeschning/Djirre Track 4, 6 and 8 by Beator/Quaeschning Track 7 by Quaeschning Thorsten Quaeschning - Synthesizer, Piano, Memotron, Guitar, Vocoder, Vocals, Boomwhakers, Percussion, Stones Sascha Beator - Synthesizer Kai Hanuschka - Drums, Vocals, Percussion Djirre - Guitar, Vocals, Vocoder Juergen Heidemann - Singing Stones, Stones, Vocals, Boomwhakers David See - Stones Nadine Gomez - Violin, Vocals Picture Palace Music is an electronic music band from Berlin, Germany, the city where serious electronic music was born. Thorsten 'Q' Quaeschning, keyboardplayer in Tangerine Dream, is head of the project. The main idea of the group that was founded in 2003 is to reproduce the musical dynamic and experiments of old live accompaniment for silent movies and to give them a modern soundtrack with nowadays-technical options. This shows that the old silent movies are not mouldy: they are timeless and fascinating! The music is inspired by more than eighty years old silent movies. Take a deep trip into a mystical world of sounds! Picture Palace Music already has quite a number of releases out, some only available as download but also some on the Manikin electronic music label from Berlin. 'Midsummer' is the first one that was released on Groove Unlimited. The theme behind the album is 'music for sound divers and baptism-ceremonies'. The band is celebrating a wonderful summer sun-worshipping the solstice and the associated famous white nights and blue hours. Vuvuzelas (remember those from the Word Championship soccer?) as an essential part of this particular summer will be heard as well as the beautiful noise of sound-stones. So join the band having a trip through the whole gamut of emotions regarding/reflecting this eventful year - 2010. And a band it is. Apart from Thorsten 'Q' the band consists of Sacha Beator (keyboards, who also does a lot of composing), Djirre and Stephen Mortimer on guitars, Vincent Novak on drums and Juergen Heidemann on various instruments and sounds. Of course, with a man like 'Q' in the band, a comparison can be made with the music of Tangerine Dream. But Picture Palace Music is more than that: melodically, lively, rocky and even at some cases progressive ('Q' is a fan of progrock and alternative rockmusic which can be heard throughout the album). With 'Chill Crystal Zone' the album already starts in a progressive way with fierce guitars and drums. But on many occasions the band takes a rest, like in the atmospheric 'Midsummer's Morning' in which we hear 'Q''s Memotronflutes and 'Drowning Someone's Sorrow Into The Ocean, part I' (a great title!). He also plays a fine steelguitar: that can be heard in 'Seduction Crossing' and even sings, like in 'Midsummer's Night'. The texts are by William Shakespeare and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Picture Palace Music creates music that is a perfect mix between electronic music, rock and prog and therefore may attract a diversity of music lovers. And also live, like on the 'E-Live festival' in 2010 they proved they are a rising force in EM. Press Information It's quite difficult to describe the music of Picture Palace Music so much that she's so disparate. Since the release of Somnambulistic Tunes in 2007, Thorsten Quaeschning's group doesn't stop amazing by an impressive variety of styles and tones. Midsummer, their 1st album on Groove Unlimited was revealed during the E-Live2010 festival during a hectic concert that totally amazed the audience. And with good cause! Beyond a hymn to summer, it's solstice, the sun and it's worshippers, Midsummer embraces big synth rock and keeps an attentive ear to rustles o bluish nights, there where festivities of a world of excitement cross the parallelism of dualistic universes of Picture Palace Music. Chill Crystal Zone reminds us above all that the leader of PPM is also behind the keyboards of Tangerine Dream. Midsummer's introductory track starts with a slightly fluty synth dandling on a fine sequential line which waves such a prismatic rivulet on a cozy bed of twinkling arpeggios and guitar notes scrolling in loops. The rhythm is nervous, crossing the wriggling guitar of The Edge (U2) as well as naive and tremulous sequences of Dream from the Rockoon years. A feverish guitar of which riffs are fading behind floating vocalizes shapes a strange melody gnawed by a latent madness. The pace is increasing with more sustained percussions and crystalline chords which waddle innocently before the guitar becomes more mordant and that an avalanche of percussions tumbles with crash, dividing Chill Crystal Zone between a soft melody and an astounding musical fury that PPM had already flooded us with Damsel Dive and Help Murder Help which we find on Fairy Marsh Districts. Moreover, Midsummer will constantly be torn between melodies and anguishes as well as between brightness and blackness. Midsummer's Eve follows with an introduction rather similar to Chill Crystal Zone weakened rhythm, except that the rhythm explodes heavily with furious percussions, a line of hemmed bass and nervous guitar riffs which plunges us into the somber universe of King Crimson (Red and Starless and Bible Black). An explosive track where the guitar drags it's solos on a hybrid structure with a rhythm broken by short aired interludes, leaning over heavy riffs and dark lines of synth which roar in a cacophony of sounds reminding us that Midsummer is also an album for sound divers as well as for baptism ceremonies, but surely baptisms of another religious order. Sounds, sounds and sounds. Midsummer's Morning is full of those and this up to the last hidden recesses of it's mystery. It's a wonderful ode to schizophrenia with a delicious piano which spreads a magnificent meditative melody where voices drag in a furrow disturbing of emotionalism and eclecticism. A soft piano which reminds me the Añoranza on Curicculum Vitae 1 whose atmosphere is similar to it with all this array of sounds as heterogeneous as troubling which crosses this delicate duel piano / flute. Midsummer's Day cross a little bit the light rhythmics of the Dream in the Miramar years with it's lively tempo where guitar riffs flow on nervous percussions and limpid sequences fidgeting beneath delicate strata of synth. A track which flirts a little more towards the big synth rock, quite as the powerful and colliding Right of Ascension Day, and which knows it's increases of creativity with a beautiful guitar and vocals of festivities which plunge Midsummer's Day in an unreal African rave-up, especially with vuvuzelas which buzz around vocoders. Seduction Crossing is also tinted of this Tangerine Dream universe, but a darker Dream brought out of Legend paths. A fine sequence swirls after an atonal intro with anguishing breezes. A sequence of which chords are trickling away under good striking of muffed percussions and others which are deeply colliding quite as on Legend. A line of bass fed this spiral sequence where keyboard keys water this strange melody of glass tones. A great track which depicts a nightmarish paranoia, especially when are adding superb spectral guitars strata which sway with stridence, tearing this suave to schizophrenic seduction which lives in Seduction Crossing, one excellent track within Midsummer. Our eardrums, still knocked out by strikes of the heavy and captivating Right of Ascension, are wrapped by the eclectic and hollow intro of Drowning Someone's Sorrow into the Ocean Part I. Drops stream in the echo of dark caves of which curves go on towards a heterogeneous sound universe where caustic reverberations cross an array of fluty breezes and metallic hoops. A sequence is emerging from it and discreetly astride this plain fossilized of metallic humming. The movement is delicate and is increasing with the appearance of the P- Shop: odax
