Alpha waves are a certain type of brain waves. They are fluctuations in electrical tension within the brain. Depending on the state you are in at the moment, the brain waves oscillate in different frequencies, for example in the 8 – 12 Hz alpha frequency range during relaxation.
External signals can be used to stimulate the brain. Markus will take you on a journey to the homeland of electronic music and back to the days of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and more.
Alphawellen is a program for music made with electronic instruments. While this is no longer unusual, as almost everyone uses these instruments nowadays, this program focuses on a specific scene known as EM, New Age, Trance, or Berliner Schule. There are certainly dozens of other names for it, but that is not important. For the most part, these are purely instrumental compositions, but there are also some tracks with vocals. The music is often emotional, sometimes calming, sometimes ecstatic, and sometimes extremely weird. You can do anything with synthesizers.
So far, each track is only played once on Alphawellen, but you can find all the programs in the archive and treat yourself to two hours of musical relaxation.
