In Iceland, Thomas Stankiewicz contemplates the constant flux of the elements. A composer & musician in his own right, he selectively weaves in between soundtracks, classical music, and evocative ambient sounds, symphonically unveiling untold stories from past and future…

A brief two-hour window into the unfathomably rich and storied music of Afghanistan – a musical heritage which reflects the country’s unique geographical position and status as a central point in a melting pot of cultures.
The show mostly features recordings from before the outbreak of Afghanistan’s civil war in 1979, or by Afghans living in exile. Music was banned under the Taliban’s initial rule, and since their return to power in 2022, Afghanistan is once again silent.

Synthesis
Synthesis
Synthesis has been played on NTS in shows including Patrick Forge, featured first on 9 November 2014. Songs played include Feeling, Feeling and Sophie's Gift.
There are at least 3 bands known under this name:
A French jazz band
It was formed in 1976, by Claude Delcloo, who gathered 23 (yes, twentytree!) famous studio musicians of the time (Didier Lockwood, Marc Chantereau, François Jeanneau, André Ceccarelli, Ivan Jullien among them) creating this way the first dreamteam à la française.
Their unique homonymous album is a blend of choppy euro fusion, funky big band grooving, and some soulful touches that remind us of some of the funky jazz coming out of the west coast during the 70s. A few cuts have some really great female vocals, scatting away with a warm and jazzy sound, but overall the set's mostly instrumental.
A Macedonian folk band.
The band was established in 1995 for the purpose of carrying out an in-depth pursuit of the outstanding folk music treasures of Macedonia. The name “Synthesis” was chosen to express the concept of the group, which is to combine traditional sounds with contemporary arrangements to create a musical synthesis. Digging deeply into the roots of Macedonian folk heritage, with a serious concern for the basics of traditional compositions, the group has received high praise for breathing new life in this millenium.
A Polish spacesynth artist.
Synthesis is a stage name of Robert Ludwinski, who released spacesynth albums Space Travels (2005), Galaxy Fighters (2012) and Satellite (2017).
