Hypnagogue Podcast

The new stuff keeps flowing in this little jaunt. As is often the case, it goes a bit of everywhere and mellows right out at the end. Start Xu & Francis Gri, Ghost Hills, Valley of Languages 6.50 Celestial Trails, Time Collapse on the Threshing Floor, Lunar Beachcomber12.47 Marucoporoporo, Conceive the […]

Oh, kids, this one’s got it all! Supergroups, weird titles, albums I got by mistake, strange and perhaps slightly discomforting songs, names I had to look up or ask how to pronounce, and at least one well-known artist I never thought would end up here. Curiosity piqued? Let’s flow. Start Dark Sky Alliance, […]

If you’ve been here before, you know that the rule is that the flow dictates the show. So this one starts off fun and funky with an infectious track but in short order turns into something drifting and just a little bit lazy. As Vonnegut said, so it goes. Start Don Plok & […]

Music can get a little weird at times–ever notice that? Well, you might this time around. But it all flows and lightens across time, so that’s good, right? If nothing else, you get to hear your host apologetically mangle someone’s language for the umpteenth time. So worldly. Enjoy. Start SKSSS & Koiwa, 88888, […]

The quest to clear out the older stuff in the Holding Tanks continues! (But only for a bit.) I’ve also got fresher stuff to offer–and watch out for that track with lyrics. Hey, it happens. Start Parallel Worlds, Timeflow, Fragmented6.13 Krakenkraft, Vibrofluxx, Sononymic14.09 IDTiL, Beneath the Patina, Artefacts with Artifacts20.04 […]

The unfortunate reality is that sometimes, artists hang out in the Holding Tanks for a good long while–too long, in fact–waiting for me to get around to putting them into an episode. So this time out my goal is to try to clear out some long-lingering music and give these folks their due. Quite a […]

Even on my best days here I’m just making it up as I go, trying to find the way one piece rolls into the next to keep you immersed in the sound. So let’s do that again. Let’s see if I guessed correctly. Quick stop at the midway point to say hi. Start Cartas de […]

The world’s gone wild over artificial intelligence! So why not join in? Come check out the first episode powered by AI.* I’m sure it will lead to 90 minutes of good stuff from the holding tanks.*Clearly, it’s a bit. Start Jeff Greinke, Late Rain at the Station, Oceanic6.34 SLITES, The Spaces […]

Well, that’s 14 years down…let’s celebrate turning 15 and largely unknown with an hour each of new stuff and tasty library cuts. And as always, thank you for being the reason (other than therapy!) that I keep doing this. Party hats on… Start Solace Road, The Portrait, Portraits of Days Past4.54 Mount Maxwell, Mist, Littlefolk8.39 […]

This one’s kinda sorta not really got a theme. I won’t mention it here, so as not to spoil the oh-so-clever opening bit. (Were you around when oh-so-clever opening bits were much more of a thing here? Say hi in the comments if you were!) Away we go. Start Loneward, Structural Eternal (excerpt), […]

This time through, it’s just new music. I’m having some of the chairs in the library reupholstered and the place is a mess. We’ll stay in the main lounge. The beverage cart will be along shortly. Start Rednicuido, Monster, Grand Central5.05 Skyphone, End of the Tether, Oscilla10.07 Suspension Bridge Workshop, […]

I’ve been thinking that I should start titling my shows like some other more popular podcasts do. Like, ones that tie into a theme such as “Silent Messages of a Distant Past” or “The Space Between the Dark Stars.” Let’s try it, okay? Here’s this week’s program, “Good Music That I Feel at Least Reasonably […]

Settle in. I want to tell you a story….a mystery, really, about The Albums That Went Missing. Oh, it’ll mystify you and maybe bring a chill to your soul, but in the end it turns into 90 really good minutes of music. Ready to hear the tale? Start Tom Sonntag, Unknown Dancer, The […]

From a gently dark start, we launch into long drifts and emerge in a lighter space. Then it’s off to the library where we just might encounter…one of those. Start Hessien, Design the Ageless Soul, The Alchemist9.20 SINKE DÜS, The Pilgrimage, Modus Vivendi13.25 Amongst Myselves, Lost Beach, An Abandoned Day20.51 […]

Contrary to the well-known internet error message, you’ve found the latest episode of the Hypnagogue Podcast! For your efforts, I’ll reward you with 90 minutes of the best ambient, electronic, and contemporary instrumental music. It’s all Holding Tanks today, and a great mix of styles. Enjoy. Start Brian Fechino, Road to Hapi, Reflection […]

Happy Leap Year Day! (Is that a thing?) From a very New Age kind of start (c’mon, we open with a Reiki thing) through pulsing funkiness to a quite quiet endpoint, this one’s pretty much what you’ve come to expect. (I hope that’s a good thing…) Start Ashron, Flight into the Sun, Reiki […]

It’s all Holding Tank this time through, bringing you quiet drifts, New Age-y tunes, a bit of chant, and more. Plus, it’s possible that I offend an artist. Start Chronotope Project, Unwinding the Dream (remix), Chronology6.16 Hyperion V, Surface Gravity, Accretion Disc10.14 Chogori, Seven Seas, Minor Green13.32 Indian Trap […]

What do you do when you’ve reached 400 podcast episodes? Keep going, I guess! We’ll stick to the Holding Tanks this time through and for the most part keep things a bit on the down-low. (That’s what the cool kids say, right? Humor me.) Off you go. Start David Arkenstone, The World Sleeps, Winterlüde4.52 […]

400? What’s up with that? Yes, your presumably favorite podcast has now happened 400 times, and we celebrate with an hour in the library and an hour of new stuff. (Plus, I indulge in a couple personal favorites!) Enjoy, and thank you for listening! Start Bob Holroyd, Darwin’s Dream, In Motion/Hollowman6.48 […]

New year, same old show. You know, the one that brings you nothing but the best ambient, electronic, and contemporary instrumental music and has that host who doesn’t seem to take this seriously? Yeah, that one. Ready for more of the same? Coolness. Let’s go. Start Carlos Dengler, Desert Flora, Private Earth12.28 […]
