EPISODE #1: THE BLUEPRINT OF LIFE - [COMING IN SEP. 2008]
Welcome to the new CyberDen Internet Radio Show and Website.
Some of you may be expecting the old gaming center website I used to own to be here yet as most of you know, that chapter is closed in my life (as will soon be the gaming center). While you can still find the old website here, expect it to be completely gone in a month or so.
It's now time to return to my original format of CyberDen being a music related site. There have been many versions over the years and this time I've decided to combine all my experiences and create a highly anticipated internet radio show that I've been asked in the past to do.
Join me each week as I take you on a journey into my over 38 years experience in the electronic, avante garde, underground, gothic, industrial, 80's, new wave, ambient, deathrock and everything in between scenes from all over the world. You'll hear things you never knew existed. You'll listen to stories yet untold.
You'll also be exposed to new music, bands, news and other informative tid-bits just as CyberDen had become world famous for doing in the past when the site was known as 'the place' in the internet for such wares. Don't take my word for it, just look at our TECH section to read more about how CyberDen was featured in Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Wired and many others.
I was first introduced to electronic music before it was any type of scene. Before an electronic music scene of any type even existed. We're talking way before Goth, Industrial, Ambient, Punk, New Age or New Wave. I guess you could of called it an accident as that's pretty much what electronic music during this time was referred to as: An accident.
. I was fascinated with my father's stereo equipment and upon looking back, pride myself on not being one of those snot-nosed little kids who would push in the speaker cones. Instead I would watch them with fascination as they moved back and forth, projecting an invisible cascade of sound that could only be intensified more by moving the speakers so they could be placed pointing towards each other allowing me to put my head between them. It was shortly after this I noticed headphones appeared in the apartment.
Before I was born, my father did a few years here and there as a radio DeeJay. He still had a few records in his collection and I immediately was drawn to one in particular. It felt more like an electronic womb god to me. Other records you just listened to, this record
literally caused my being to displace, almost like being transported via a transport beam to a most frightening yet warm and peaceful place that simply removed all axis of feeling from my being and allowed me to literally float on what felt like a microscopic world that simply dwarfed everything in existance.
Although I was only 5 years old, I knew a path in my life was at least outlined. I started listening to anything I could find on record, reel to reel, on TV or on radio including the static. I soon realized my culinary sonic tastes were beyond that of what could be obtained by normal listening habits and so began my journey to search out and listen to what would add to my blueprint of life.
In this first primer episode, we'll take a listen back to that first Music From Mathematics album along with other composers (or in some cases 'programmers') who set the stage for both musical and experimental paths in the industry. From Morton Subotnick
