Listen for Etheric Currents every Monday. Host Equinox Deschanel (aka Joe McMahon IRL) explores the RadioSpiral library, looking for both seldom-heard gems and audience favorites, mining the vast reaches of Creative Commons music, and may indulge in an occasional Equinoctal improvisation from time to time. With a relaxing combo of beats and ambience, we hope you’ll tune in, groove a bit, and relax.
This episode features Stellaterra’s great “Radiant” release — a loving tribute to Berlin School. We also will hear Mahorka’s “Talking Pictures” release, with contributions from many Mahorka artists, each taking a still from famous movies as a prompt.
We’ll round out the second hour with some extra tracks from Ether, Team Metlay, and Rinse, Repeat.

Numbers Stations
This show features tracks built on sounds from the CONET Project: recordings of “numbers stations”. These radio stations are coded messages to spies, alerting them as to what decryption keys they should be using.
On the surface, they are mysterious strings of numbers or letters in the international phonetic alphabet, recited by synthesized voices: excellent raw material for electronic musicians.
This episode features tracks from two releases from the PublicSpaces Lab netlabel:
Number Stations [PS015]
Number Stations Part II [PS025]
There’s also a short Equinoctal performed live in this episode!

Thom Brennan’s “Aftermath” and Two Bump Foots (Feet?)
We premiered (at least for our listeners) Thom Brennan’s Aftermath release, which came out the week before this episode was recorded, and rounded out the show with two releases from Bump Foot, the Fail EP from Drugstore, and the gnomic QX#55’s 6+6=12.
Thom has come through with his usual smooth, deceptively simple sequencer-driven melodies, and the other two contrast nicely with a bit more attitude and interesting explorations of timbre.
