The soundscapeprog’s Podcast

As we continue our journey forward, this week we offer a trip into 2006. I am continually amazed that after all these years, there remains new music to discover. Due to the rather amazing breadth of the music available in the world and being developed around us every day, I don't think the well is going to ever dry up. Maybe when we get to 2112 it will be oulawed but for today, we are in a time of...

As part of our rather slow build to the best of 2016, this week we feature music from 1996. At this point in time, the world was mostly paying attention to alternative rock like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Your humble DJ here was Djing on college radio his folk and blugrass show, "The Appalaichian Trail". I had 50,000 watts of power for 2 hours a week. Progressive rock continued in the underbelly o...

Well Hello there fellow proggy compatriots. This week we have another archival gem for you. This was aired back in 2007 when we were on The Dividing Line. The show is a quick perusal of drums in progressive rock music. With so many great options it was not an easy show to put together. Now here we are 9 years later and the show would be much different I imagine. This is probably a theme we should...

The idea of running back 4 decades sounded like a good one. I have always wanted to be able to try and delve so deep into the music that I could follow a thread across the years. Not an easy task but perhaps some day I will be able to do this with smaller structures. A friend suggested to use counterpoint as the starting space. It would be worthwhile to try it but that is for another time. This ti...

This week we have another archived episode for you from the Dividingline days. This one comes from 2008. Soundscape has been on the podcast airwaves for a while. In the initial series this was episode 103, so approximately 2 years into our time at The Dividing Line Broadcast Network. I picked this one because it was a lot of fun. Knowing what I know now, I could do a better job of finding more blu...

Hello fellow Soundscapers, Here we are again with another inspired episode. This time our station boss and good friend Mark Monforti suggested we do a theme featuring music with Glockenspiel. So never one to back down from a good challenge, that is what you have here. There are 4 sets devoted to the theme, as well as some awesome live stuff, Suzi's corner, and a host of new material for you to che...

Welcome to 2017. We hope that it will be a year of growth for Soundscape. Unfortunately with all of the changes to our podcast and a rather intermiitent schedule we left some people behind. That is really unfortunate but hoefully in the new year we will find them again. For those of you still with us, thank for listening. It means a lot to us that you have continued with us. We hope to continue pr...

This holiday season we bring you the gift of history, an episode of Soundscape from our days at The Dividing Line in 2011. This is another way of saying we want you to have a Christmas show, but our schedule has been thrown off by the holiday schedule. We will return soon though. I am not certain how Soundscape is suddenly falling on all the holidays but hopefully in the future this will right its...

It's Christmas time right? But it is also Bond Season. Thanks to a long tradition of cable TV showing Bond after Thanksgiving, I have 2 years ago. We had just started working with Progrock.com so perhaps there were sound problems, but the show was fantastic. This is one of several shows we have done on Bond over the years. Maybe next year we will put out some older ones. For now though, sit back a...

Hey guys, The theme here is music about stages of life. The show was originally planned to be a 4 hour show, but we had to some editing. As such, adulthood to old age will seem very fast paced. Nevertheless, I think the nature of the thing still came through. Hopefully, it will be a journey of good music and self reflection. Next time around we celebrate the return of the light. We will not be bro...

One of the most important visions I had for Soundscape was that it would provide a well crafted pastiche of music that allows musical travel. Now originally this episode was supposed to be about traveling, but the moods of the moment and the winds of change sometimes put fickle turns on inspiration. As such what we have for you this week is a gethering of music to allow that musical travel to unfo...

Greeting my stalwart listeners and minions, We have a special archival episode to offer today. This one is a Halloween episode from 2009. During this time we were on the Dividingline Broadcast network. This is still a wonderful place for you to go and get great progressive rock podcasts. You can check out the station at www.thedividingline.com I am a little embarrassed to find that music that I th...

Welcome to episode #43 of the new Soundscape on Progrock.com Soundscape has been rolling through the years since about Feb. 2004 or 5. It's been so long we are not even sure of the exact years anymore. Nevertheless, we have in the 12 or so years we have run this show, provided a spooky soundtrack for your Halloween and this year is no exception. The challenges every year is to deliver something ne...

This weeks Soundscape takes you on a trip on the rails. There are so many songs about trains that it almost deserves it's own genre. Nevertheless, we have put together a grouping of train songs that we feel truly embed the feeling of train culture. We also offer our usual gathering of new stuff, kitsch, and a perfect album side. I think you will all agree that we are On Track again. Soundscape wil...
