A Strangely Isolated Place is dedicated to bringing you inspirational electronica and ambient music. Created in 2008, the name of the site wasn’t picked on the brilliance of Ulrich Schnauss’ album alone, but also because of the belief that everyone is inspired by their own strangely isolated place. From big to small, from the surreal to the real, from the instantaneous moments to the epic journeys; the music that’s posted here is what I deem to be the perfect spark, partner or prelude to defining a strangely isolated place.
The isolatedmix series has been the backbone for the site since day one, when the man behind the inspired title of the site, contributed a very special mix. Since then, the series has continued to grow. By invitation only, I’ve managed to persuade some of my biggest inspirations to contribute and this ethos will hopefully continue as my horizons and heroes exponentially grow.
Coming soon, a series of productions from specially selected artists that reflect their very own strangely isolated place. Click here for more information.
The ASIP iPhone app has arrived! Download the latest mixes direct to your phone, stay tuned in to the latest posts and play tracks direct from the RSS reader. Free to download! Click here more info and download links
The site has always been advert/sponsor free, which of course means everything you see here, has stemmed from my own passion with some generous help from a few of you along the way. If you would like to see the site grow even more and would consider contributing/donating, please do so here (there’s a special prize for anyone who donates by the way…)
The site wouldn’t have got this far without some very special people. First and foremost, everyone who has donated, I can’t thank you enough. Jano Garcia, for the brilliant logo design. Dorian Denes for the constant help with creative and the isolatedmix series artwork. Greg and Dave at The Fore, for the ASIP iPhone app development. Reef Younis, for Haiku expertise and words on the Places series.
If you would like to submit your music or mix for consideration, please send it through. Please note, I don’t really do reviews as such, as I only really post about the music I enjoy and the music I think you guys will like too (i’m a little biased in that respect). I do my best to reply to everyone who contacts me, but please accept my apologies if on the rare occasion I don’t get back to you.
You can find ASIP on Twitter @asip, Facebook, Soundcloud, Google+ and Flickr
Thanks for listening.
