"The Clearing" by A PRODUCE. the living ritual Thu Dec 21 with deirdre dionysiac on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hello

Hi. Dat deirdre madness has begun, Andale!!

well, perhaps the opposite. life of late is the madness, this is our rest period

Hey deirdre! Keeping a mystic solstice theme?

hey.

It's so happening in minutes. lol

sorta! i've been busy so we're going to be partially breaking out music that I had set aside for a potential snowy evening, and am now using out of necessity and also pessimism that we will have a snowy thursday evening.

hey santy

No such a thing as a Sanity Clause.

🙇🏻‍♂️

hey dei! (can i call you dei?)

Hey ǝʌɐꓷ!

howdy friends. now that i'm fully aware that this program encompasses the solstice, i don't know what to do with my hands. feel like you've gathered here to hear the winter gospel and i'm suddenly parched

love this one

you may indeed, stevie!

Just hey all around is barn talk, but...

thanks "dei"

hiya Rof, DSM, and TAnderooski!

Roffle, my elderly neighbor growing up would always say "hay is for horses" anytime I said hey

hey stevie!

no more work this week. it's that kind of thursdee nite innit

deirdre, there's always The Ramones when all else fails!

@DatSantaMadness, hay sayer! Love it!

Less than two minutes!

In the shadow of things... Lovecraftian title and atmosphere

The time is upon us!

Behold!

Save your receipts.

nice

Oh i've got the receipts right here

Documented with for real time stamps. lol.

Real good time stamp is also applicable.

Love this one

RIP Yukihiro Takahashi, creator of the theme for the Fantastep soundtrack, an obscure footnote in his career

Ambience nights shine like Lumas ⭐🌠💫✨🌟

this is so good. really appreciate these sweet tunes tn

ditto

they're clean palettes for thought/feeling, i hope/gander

stevie, your comment just reminded me of charles ditto, who would be a perfect fit in this set. there may be time yet

love the percussion on this one

That Lentz composition is sublime

Ever the soundtrack of my Decembers, i saw that you played this one recently

thinking this will blend well with the next track

🌞

Beauty

MTV actually showed the video from Lentz's "Luminare" on one of their old shows, maybe AMP?

Indeed, a good song pairing

This sounds like Steve Roach meets Iasos.

Sounds like something for Zelda Breath Of The Wild and the Tears Kingdom sequel

It also sounds of the three goddesses backstory in Ocarina of Time

Steve Roach is a savant. I wish I could travel to Arizona just to see one of his live performances.

Roach has played at The Gatherings in Philly a number of times. I saw hime around 20 years ago.

😌

Wish it were summertime already listening to this

Forgive my rude standoffishness, Andy. Need to track down that Lentz video, and I like the Roach/Iasos comparison

It's on Youtube fortunately.

dei, your show tonight is so good, as per usual.

i was outside taking the trash and recycling out... listening on my airpods... the moon is glowing through a heavy haze. the only other object visible is Jupiter, just off the moon's right (our left) shoulder

Jupiter is less than a thumb's width at arm's length off the moon's right shoulder

Funny was playing some of Mario Galaxy along with these and N64 to fit with the relaxing chill ambience

all of us solar system planets... we're like 9 people around a blazing campfire

one summer evening, just after sunset, i saw just that: planets around a campfire... that night, mars, jupiter and venus lined up, looking like, from my view, three objects around a campfire (below the horizon)

that view, very 3D was life changing. it was only 3 or 4 years ago, at a 4h of july party

An otherworldlyly and beautifulmonious soundtrack to my car ride, Thanks. Have a good night y’all

have a safe one, guelo.

Guelo, before you go inside for the night, look at the moon, and Jupiter which is very close to the moon!

Beautifulmonious experiences all around for our fellow flame ponderers

ditto

Jupiter in sight from west Philly.

Stevie- That's so stellar cool! To see planets aligned like that. I see shooting stars on rare occasions

I saw a green one

when i was a little kid, i saw a green one that was really big and long across the sky

@Guelo... thanks for the Jupiter report from West Philly!

What will happen at the strike of 10:27? Does the Solstice need a poultice?

Long childhood ago, a friend and I thought we heard little aliens that landed in a hole we dug and hearing a "hello" from below. Turned out to be a passersby speaking on his phone

Stevie - I can imagine a shooting star long as that.

Os, that was when i lived in central pennsylvania, farming country, no light pollution

speaking of light pollution, it was so dark out there, you could see a blob of light for NYC, Phila, and Baltimore-Washington megaburb.

off on the horizon, a long way away

Dang wow, that's loads of a distance to see that blob of light

NYC was about 100 miles to the northeast. balto-washington was about 40-60 miles southeast. philly was due east about 100 miles.,

the cities were below the horizon, but the collective lights of the cities would project up into the atmosphere, reflected back by any particles or clouds.

imagine a black sky, with large, soft puffs of light in the distance, NYC being about 3-or-4 fingers wide

dang, dei, your show is soooo goooood

This might be one of the best shows of 2023.

Stevie - Astounded stuff

And yeah, this a serene show

Lessons and resolutions for 2024: It always seems to work out better when I put in less effort. Maybe predetermining less and following the sound in the moment more. All of your night's sky talk is only feeding the music!

That's a perfect approach

if this is your less effort, i say, more less effort!

Thank you so much for the show this evening, this week, this season, this year. Have a merry christmas, Deirdre.

thanks for a stellar show dei! g'night

Thanks!

Merry ambient, astronomical and N64 christmas, Dei!

Night all. Don't stray too far from your DD, be it deirdre dionysiac or designated driver. Utter curses and then be merry
