As the year draws to a close, UV Radio host @philipp-demankowski returns to the show with a tradition that has become a quiet constant: the annual Ambient Special. Now in its eleventh edition, the show once again offers a gentle pause in an otherwise hectic year. Given the current state of the world, 90 minutes of drifting, unobtrusive sound may be just the kind of refuge many are looking for. Take a step back, settle into a calm space, and let the music do the rest. Wishing everyone a peaceful Ambient Christmas.

Uncanny Valley Radio 096 - Contemporary Dance Selection
Dancers have to train hard and perform with a rough edge, conveying emotions with as much acting ease as possible. At the end it also requires choreography, clothing, lighting and the appropriate set with lots of helping hands. The bigger the show, the more people are involved. With a few exceptions, it also needs sound, rhythm or just a appropriate soundscape. Sometimes existing music is used because it is structurally well suited to the piece. Other times, working with composers and musicians is the best way to put your own stamp on the piece bringing things to the point.
@sandrow_m has been working with choreographers and dance piece makers for several years. With this compilation he presents 20 different pieces of music that were either used because of their suitability or were created. There is no attempt to present the entire spectrum, which would not be possible in 90 minutes anyway. Nevertheless the compilation contains various styles, for which, with a little patience, you can try to find corresponding film material on the Internet to complete your listening experience.
