May 3, 2025 — album «Pillars of Creation» on Beata Pardela's radio show «Elektroniczne Brzmieni» on El-Stacja radio

May 3, 2025 — album «Pillars of Creation» on Beata Pardela's radio show «Elektroniczne Brzmieni» on El-Stacja radio

Dear friends, on Saturday evening, May 3, 2025, Beata Pardela and I — composer Andrey Klimkovsky — invite you to the radio show «Elektroniczne Brzmienia» («Electronic Sounds») on the online station El-Stacja, which many of you likely know well.

This will be the final episode of «Electronic Sounds» before our summer break, and it’s dedicated entirely to my album «Pillars of Creation». Released in 2021, this album remains vibrant and is considered by many electronic music fans to be the best in my discography (Bandcamp stats back this up!). Beata shares this view, which is why she chose «Pillars of Creation» for our spring 2025 finale.

The album will play in full — no cuts. Beata will kick things off with a short talk about its creation, the meaning behind the letters on the cover, and the profound impact this music has on listeners (she’ll share her personal experience). I’ll be in the station’s chat, ready to chime in and connect with you. While the album plays, we’ll have plenty of time to chat — maybe that’s the real highlight! This show won’t be archived — you won’t find it recorded later. You have to be there, live, in the moment.

In recent years, we’ve grown used to postponing things, putting off what could enrich our lives, and letting it slip away. That’s made life feel less vibrant.

But the paradigm is shifting — for the better.

The chances to delay, reschedule, or “catch it later” are fading. Instead, opportunities to live life fully, in real time, are growing.

Don’t miss this one.

See you on the air!

«Elektroniczne Brzmienia» starts Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 19:00 UTC.

(At 09:00 PM Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw. At 03 PM New York, 12:00 San Francisco)

«Phantom Galaxy» album — Video Episode 2

Galaxy M74 or NGC 628 is located in the Pisces constellation. Now astronomers know hundreds and thousands of galaxies within any constellation, but this galaxy is special.

Firstly, not many galaxies can be seen with your own eyes — it is visible in amateur telescopes. But it is visible at the limit — it is guessed when looking at it with peripheral vision, and it is for this feature that it received the name «Phantom Galaxy».

Secondly, the «Phantom Galaxy» M74 is a classic example of a spiral galaxy, which is visible from the Milky Way Galaxy in front — flat. Others — even closer and brighter "star cities" — the Andromeda Nebula, the Triangulum Galaxy, the Bode Galaxy in Ursa Major — all of them are visible in half a turn.

In recent years, the «Phantom Galaxy» has delighted scientists with supernova explosions three times — in 2002, in 2003 and in 2013. For astrophysicists, this is "just some kind of holiday." Thanks to a series of these events, the distance to the M74 galaxy was measured quite accurately — 35 million light years.

It is worth noting that the «Phantom Galaxy» itself is somewhat more modest than the Milky Way and the Andromeda Nebula. It contains about 100 billion stars (our Galaxy has about 200 billion stars), although it is only slightly smaller than the Milky Way in size.
