Idyllic Music Podcast

Welcome to the Idyllic Music Podcast featuring the melodic and rhythmic, the charmingly simple and deceptively complex. Idyllic Music can be Trip Hop or Ambient, Jazz, Dub or Downtempo. In short, headphone electronica. Music as cool as a gentle summer stream.

This week, we'll look at the many aspects of melancholia. In particular, German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer engraving of the same name. We can linger over the many symbols of mathematics and alchemy portrayed in the work but ultimately it's all about how one feels. Expounding and deflecting for us this week are All India Radio, Plastik Joy, Matisse and Deeper Sublime, Eskazed, Blind Divine and Gate Zero. I’m Jim Nye

We'll begin in Melbourne with Martin Kennedy and Leona Prue as All India Radio and the heartbreaking sadness of 'Chameleon'
