Acoustic Music with a Live Berlin Clock
Warm unplugged guitar against the concrete — intimate acoustic, on CET.
This station runs warm, unplugged acoustic music: openly-licensed fingerstyle and classical guitar, gentle folk and soft instrumentals — crossfaded so the calm never breaks. It's the close, human sound of wood and string against a cool grey city.
Berlin's contrast is the appeal — a machine-music capital that also nurtures a huge acoustic and singer-songwriter scene in its cafés, courtyards and backroom venues. A little warm human sound goes a long way here. A live CET clock keeps it over the rooftops.
It's ideal for a quiet evening, reading, gentle focus, or unwinding — acoustic instrumental music is melodic enough to be beautiful yet calm and organic enough to stay out of the way.
The soundbed is openly-licensed (CC0 and CC-BY), credited and crossfaded so there's no audible loop and no copyright risk. The clock holds true Central European Time while the scene keeps Berlin hours — flat pale daylight, a cool dusk, and soft glowing night over the city.
