My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #81 – The Ambients edition airs Monday 16th, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

Since I received Thomas von Wachenfeldt’s Estradörerna I’ve been listening to it non stop. I knew I one of its pieces was going to open this programme. The choice was Suite no1 in G minor (Jon Erik Hall) I. Visa Air.

Estradörerna has music by three Swedish folk musician – Jon-Erik Öst, Wiktor Öst, and Jon-Erik Hall – arranged for string trio chamber instrumentation by Thomas von Wachenfeldt. It was not chamber, but baroque music, that less to the two final selections.

The show was mostly complete. There were a few possibilities. None seem right, to fit. Returning home by metro an walking, from a concert by Orquesta Barroca Casa da Música playing seven baroque pieces with oboe, some for oboe, there was one of those moments with only the Universal can explain.

Ventos Animais, by Mão Morta and Forças Ocultas by Duplex Longo were the missing links. Each enriched the tapestry of diverse ambients present, allowing for the programme to have a deeper feeling.
