This month, Sonic Darts returns with long-time friend of the show, . The Hanoi-based artist/DJ Kumanthong who previously introduced us to the world of Ambient Black Metal in 2019. This time we are taken on a dedicated journey back to the Zodiac Free Arts Lab, a venue that stood as the undeniable heart of groundbreaking synth music in Berlin during the late 1960s and ’70s and was a foundation of the Berlin School Ambient movement. For further listening see our 2 hour interview with long-time collaborator of Conrad Schnitzlers Wolfgang Seidel:

Gwaith Sŵn's Sonic Darts - 2nd December 2019 Brief* www.mixcloud.com Covering the period between 1969–1993, Gwaith Swn’s sonic darts went on a deep dive along with guest guide Kumanthong (PRC) into the musical genre known as Black Metal. We placed special emphasis on the iconic band Mayhem and their ties to the Berlin School ambient movement, which originated from the Zodiac club in Kreuzberg. Our showcase included music from esteemed artists such as Conrad Schnitzler, Klaus Schulze, and Ash-Ra Temple. Additionally, we highlight soundtrack compositions and synthetic atmospheres crafted by John Carpenter, as well as tracks that drew inspiration from this influential era.

For the month of April 2023, Sonic Darts approached a theme of Original Soundtracks.
