Today\u2019s guest deejays are Potsdam-based Brueder Selke, brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke (CEEYS<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve gotten quite good at jotting down notes on how I meet people. But sometimes, I forget to capture that information, and in this case, I don\u2019t recall how I met Sebastian and Daniel. If I had to guess, I believe I discovered them<\/a> while perusing Bandcamp<\/a> for new music.<\/p>\n\n

CEEYS\u2019s albums explore and combine experimental, minimalist, avant-garde, pop, jazz, ambient, and classical chamber music. I love all that stuff, and Sebastian and Daniel distill all those forms of music into a heady listening experience, something you can lose yourself in. I\u2019ve had \u201cYes, Brick By Brick\u201d<\/a> on repeat for few hours, for example.<\/p>\n\n

Their mix for today\u2019s show was a surprise. I trusted they would craft a mix worth hearing, and while it captures their musical sensibilities, it also subverted my expectations. And the mix is dense. In the space of 40+ minutes, you\u2019re going to hear music from 28 different artists.<\/p>\n\n

Sebastian and Daniel have some words about their mix below.<\/p>\n\n

Before I wrap things up, I want to mention that Paleowolf<\/a> has released a new album, Cenozoic<\/a><\/em>. Paleowolf continues to create music inspired by totems of prehistoric animals and describes Cenozoic<\/em> as the spiritual successor to Megafauna Rituals<\/a><\/em>. It\u2019s impressive how much material Paleowolf has churned up within his self-created genre. Listen to the Soundwave Paleomix here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Joins us next week when our guest deejay will be Roel Funcken<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then!<\/p>\n\n

\"Brueder

For us, two brothers coming from beyond the Iron Curtain, the Wall, with a strikingly serene sense of modesty and humility, rooted in the daily improvisation to manage and resolve shortcomings during Communist-era GDR times and the later reunion of Germany, the most intrinsic part of being a musician is the encounter with like-minded friends and fellows.<\/p>\n\n

Collaboration has become an essential element of our musical approach manifesting itself in the 2020 EP, THESIS 17<\/a><\/em>, alongside CONSTANT PRESENCE, the project between Peter Broderick<\/a> and Daniel O\u2019Sullivan<\/a>, on Gregory Euclide<\/a>\u2019s Thesis Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

In fact, it was musicians like these and collaborations with others like \u00d3lafur Arnalds<\/a>, Masayoshi Fujita<\/a>, Carlos Cipa<\/a> , and Martyn Heyne<\/a> (who mixed and mastered almost the entire CEEYS catalogue) that inspired us to found Q3AMBIENTFEST<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

The aim of this handpicked list of talent is to blend established and emerging artists from diverse genres and origins. Some even shared already the stage with us while others are invited to come over to our little filmtown Potsdam, in the future.<\/p>\n\n

Thanks to Joseph, who gave us the opportunity to curate this cozy playlist.<\/p>\n\n
