A cool music video by C.P. McDill for the forthcoming collaboration 3″ cdr, “Engine Room Glow”, by Nocturnal Emissions and mystified on Tosom Records. Due out 1/2010.
A new release from Mister Vapor. Here are two mid- to- longform pieces on the familiar subject of deep space. They are compositions, true, and they are also minimal and melodic, verging on sheer atmospheria. Good for peripheral listening; excellent with headphones.

Some information: ( from http://www.starsend.org ): ” STAR’S END is (with the exception of ‘Music from the Hearts of Space’) the longest running radio program of ambient music in the world. Since 1976, STAR’S END has been providing the Philadelphia broadcast area with music to sleep and dream to.
There are many suggested uses for the program, but most people tune their radio to STAR’S END as they get into bed on Saturday night and allow the gentle aural soundscapes to influence their sleep and dreams.
The music is presented in a non-stop drifting blend and drawn from a diversity of genres including: electronic, ambient, spacemusic, chillout, avant-garde, low-intensity noise, new age, international, spoken word and classical.
27 year veteran host Chuck van Zyl, has a low-key announcing style that gently informs listeners of show content without disturbing their sleep. Many listeners feel he is a welcome guest in their intimate listening environment.
‘STAR’S END is a unique listening experience, not just an exchange of information like most radio shows’, says van Zyl. ‘Due to the unique presentation and the subtlety of the music, the program really affects people, often in a profound way’.
STAR’S END, hosted by Chuck van Zyl, broadcasts live weekly beginning at 1:00am on Saturday night until 6:00am Sunday morning (USA Eastern Time Zone). Originating from WXPN, Non-commercial Radio from the University of Pennsylvania, STAR’S END has occupied this time slot since its inception back in 1976 making it one of the longest running radio programs of Ambient/Space music in the world. “
