Stephan Thelen is a composer, musician and mathematician based in Zürich, Switzerland. He is best known as composer, artistic director and guitarist of the Swiss minimal groove band "Sonar". Bandcamp

After a few years of playing without effects apart from reverb in Sonar, he wanted to record some pieces in which effects were an integral part of the music, specifically the effect he calls “Fractal Guitar” — a rhythmic delay with a very high feedback level that creates cascading delay patterns in odd time signatures such as 3/8, 5/8 or 7/8.

Mike, I was totally a fan of Diaspar, at the side of my radio each evening with a notebook.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:08:38 AM
I credit Diaspar and Stars End with much of my musical taste.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:09:48 AM
So with the demise of Diaspar, I am trying to fill that gap.
Mike Tropiano 9:10:48 AM
Me too, listened every night for 3.5 hours. Am still angry "when it changed". Fortunately I had discovered PRB by then but there was still too little opportunity to hear stuff like this.
Mike Tropiano 9:11:27 AM
And your reconstruction is deeply apprecuated.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:11:38 AM
Those DJs told me about Jerry's store, 3rd St. Jazz, where I would make pilgrimages to collect rare imports.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:13:00 AM
My show isn't quite like Diaspar, in the sense that they were much broader. The closest match at WPRB I think would be Lizbot's show.
Mike Tropiano 9:14:09 AM
I was going to mention that her show is the only current PRB show that covers similar ground.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:14:45 AM
Yeah, Double Plus Good is as diverse.

Thanks for that Zara! and

The Sprawl was another but not currently airing.

For sure, The Sprawl. Mickey's show casted an even wider net.

He is quitting?
Mike Tropiano 9:18:39 AM
I used to try to pick up a late night weekend show on WAMU in DC (could sometimes get my radio to tune in) that was similar. When that show ended, I thought that at least in Philly, this music had a safe home. Within a couple years 88.9 became a commercial station.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:19:28 AM
@ Mike, yeah on the rarest of occasions, I was able to catch WAMU. They also had a format change.
Mike Tropiano 9:19:44 AM
He can't retire. he seems so envigorated with the weekly videos. I thought that only KC was finished

ǝʌɐꓷ, getting back to Olde XPN stuff... I was also a dedicated listener of Diaspora and Stars End... I've been searching for any recordings of the Experimental Radio Project from back then
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:35:30 AM
Yeah, ERP with Thom Dura! I got a few recordings aired on that show.

Searching mainly on archive.org. No luck so far. Any recommendations, ǝʌɐꓷ?
DSM 9:36:15 AM
Nice note over there too Dave, I didn't know he dubbed his playing style Fractal, just thought they were album titles.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:36:23 AM
I may have recorded parts of it when my recordings were aired. Damned if I can find that cassette now, though.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:37:18 AM
@DSM, that's a cool think about the playlist; it can accommodate lots of text and photos.

I have some cassettes in my basement. Alas, my high-end Sony cassette deck from back then needs all new belts.

When I opened it up to see why my cassettes weren't playing, I found the belts had melted into a sticky black goo

Enjoying this Blue is Nine! The name makes me wonder if they have synesthesia.

Today was the rare opportunity for me to.listen to the entire show. Far, far from disappointing! Beamed some light and warmth into this dreary day's beginning. Graetly appreciated. Thanks Dave, and thank you to the rest of the community, for being a community.
