ID Music Meets Root Strata Inna Big Bend Style

Posted on March 1, 2015 Posted in Inter-Dimensional Music, KRTS, MarfaTagged art, Daniel Chamberlin, Ecstatic Camouflage, Inter-Dimensional Music, John ruskin, marfa, Marfa Myths, Maxwell August Croy, Root StrataLeave a comment

Inter-Dimensional Music – the top-rated “New Age Talk” broadcast in the Big Bend since 2010! – returns to the airwaves tonight, Sunday March 1, 2015 from 9-11pm on Marfa Public Radio. Also always streaming live at marfapublicradio.org, and *rarely* archived at interdimensionalmusic.com.

We’ll be joined in studio tonight by itinerant Root Stratan Maxwell August Croy, who’s returned to Far West Texas for self-imposed exile/residency. We hope to hear more of the music he’s been working on, including a soon-coming collaboration with another friend of the show, cosmic harpist Mary Lattimore. We’ll also be talking high desert mind expansion strategies while cycling through psychedelic folk music (watch for the obligatory Dead jam), and maybe some downpressing folk metal so as to make sure our silver linings have more than a touch of grey.

We’ll also get into some music from the Marfa Myths festival, which arrives in these high desert grasslands on March 13 for a weekend of sound bathing, tape chanting and other irie activities featuring New Age-allies well known to ID Music listeners, such as Bitchin Bajas, Grouper and Jefre-Cantu Ledesma. Keep an eye on Marfa Public Radio and Ballroom Marfa for more coverage.

We’ll be back later this March with more news about Chambo’s next installation, a collection of photo-based works informed in part by the writings of Victorian proto-ecologist (and erotophobe?) John Ruskin. Fresh lichen prints are making their way to Marfa from Color Wheel Digital in Baltimore, destined for the expanding plant-mind meditation zone already in progress at Etherington Art.

Daniel Chamberlin writes:

There’s a good reason that Inter-Dimensional Music is the number one New Age radio broadcast in the Big Bend region of Far West Texas: Since we first started transmitting on Marfa Public Radio back in the spring of 2010, each song we’ve played has been selected with the goal of offering all the souls passing through the Chihuahuan Desert a soundtrack worthy of our luminescent high country vistas.

So whether you’re waiting in line at the Sierra Blanca Border Patrol checkpoint; watching the lights of Boquillas from the South Rim of the Chisos; channeling the spirit of curandera Jewel Babb deep in the Quitman Mountains; decoding starlight vibrations at the McDonald Observatory; vibing on the sky island rhythms of the Davis Mountains…

Blues Control at Lost Horse

Posted on February 9, 2013 Posted in Inter-Dimensional Music, MarfaTagged Blues Control, Lost Horse, marfaLeave a comment

As Blues Control, Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho create a righteous blend of space rock, spiritual jazz and New Age music that sounds like little else. The Coopersburg, PA-based duo has been making albums since 2007 for top shelf labels like Siltbreeze, Not Not Fun, Woodsist and Holy Mountain. In 2011 they issued an absolute classic of contemporary cosmic music in collaboration with zither guru Laraaji, best known for his Brian Eno-produced album from 1980,Ambient 3: Day of Radiance. Artist Kathy Rose directed their latest video (see above) for “Opium Den/Fade to Blue.” [Video via artinfo]

They’re on tour now in support of the excellent Valley Tangents album on Drag City, and they’ll be delivering their astral guitar/electronics/keyboard jams for FREE at the Lost Horse this Monday (11 February 2013).

Check out a live performance of “Iron Pigs” on Drag City Limits after the jump …

Chambo’s 2012 Heavy Rotations

Chambo’s Top ID Music Jams from 2012, in alphabetical order:

Actress – R.I.P.

As we wrote once before … “Less suffocated techno. More shiny fractal ambience. “Shadow from Tartarus” sounds like ice tinkling off the conning tower of Porter Ricks‘ submarine after surfacing in the sparkling glare of Arctic sunlight.”

Anywhere – Anywhere

Mike Watt, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and a dude we’d never heard of from the awesomely named “Liquid Indian” got together for these totally mellow Sandy Bull-inspired astral jams and nobody really said much about it, but it’s amazing.

Ashan – Ancient Forever

Sits next to Stag Hare’s Spirit Canoes, Deep Magic’s Solar Meditations, White Rainbow’s New Clouds and Thoughts on Air’s Mallo Yallo as a stone classic of contemporary New Age. Flutes, guitars and all kinds of jingle-jangling old growth vibes.

LAST ID MUSIC OF 2012

Posted on December 2, 2012January 7, 2013 Posted in Inter-Dimensional Music, KRTSTagged Ancient Forever, Ashan, Emeralds, Eternal Tapestry, Julia Holter, KRTS, marfa, Psychic IllsLeave a comment

The ID Music team consults oracles for top end-of-time jams. (productlaneevol via r-u-ins).

The last Inter-Dimensional Music broadcast of 2012 — and thus perhaps the last ID Music broadcast of this human epoch (keywords: Mayan calendar, Daniel “I am friends with Sting” Pinchbeck, “what should I hoard,” etc etc ) — happens tonight (SUNDAY DECEMBER 2) on KRTS from 9-11p (CST).

Hollander brings mystery tunes. I have new music from Indian Jewelry, Emeralds and Eternal Tapestry among other chill gems/decorative weavings.

Tune in via antennae at 93.5FM out here in the Big Bend of Far West Texas. It’s marfapublicradio.org for the rest of you.

UPDATE: Chambo’s playlist after the jump. Continue reading “LAST ID MUSIC OF 2012” →
