STAR'S END Update 10.05.25

[Star'sEndRadio]

Wired to seek and share George Wallace is a musician who has never stopped trying to be a poet. Continually attempting to provide listeners with an inner world/inner home, his TIMELESS (63:21) strives for optimism throughout. Realizing an altogether elsewhere while sounding the depths of the mind it serves its purpose by adding substantial depth and a palpable atmosphere to the era it was designed to accompany. Breathing, questioning chords emerge and recede into a rich psychological interiority. Where shadow waits for light to give it form we hear skillful manipulations of texture and atmosphere moving within this work - then setting a cool, gorgeous slow fire to chase away the gloom. Further in, low slow synth swells ascend amid cinematic strings and a kind of luminous rumination. Basking in a golden hour consonance a cloudless calm suspends aural brushstrokes on the perfumed air. The new perspectives found on TIMELESS only intensify as we move through its seven tracks. Riding on rising rhythms of soft sampled percussion and electronic tones, some of them bring some measure of energy and intensity to our sonic journey. Imagined as a series of "conversations" among the instruments (flute, keyboard, guitar, etc.) this album brims with beautiful moments. The richness of the voyage Wallace takes us on is magical. It is completely of its time, yet timeless. Existing in a territory somewhere between New Age, Ambient and Spacemusic this music is meant to be more than merely a means of escape. Upon entering your heart, it can elevate your soul.

Otal live on STAR'S END - 12 October 2025

Recording and performing under the name Otal works by Icelandic Electronic Musician Oskar Arngrimsson feel more measured than most modular synth realizations. Blurring the borders between collage, sculpture, abstraction and tonal representation he searches for a hidden realm. Original, restlessly charged and changing sounds float free of context or lineage - with meaning pointing in multiple possible directions. While rising sonic forms enthrall in a slowly revealing timbral bloom, oscillators take their turn advancing, stacking and receding. As enigmatic as the realm it is trying to depict Arngrimsson's realizations do not merely hang in the air, inert. They sparkle, shine and gleam - moving as easily out through the cosmos as they do inward to the recesses of the human spirit.

Following his 11 October 2025 performance at The Gatherings Concert Series in Philadelphia, Otal plays live on the 10.12.25 broadcast of STAR'S END. Please tune in for details and/or stream live on Youtube:
