The History:
On October of 2001, this station was first established to enhance the art displayed at darkdoors.com. In understanding it's origin, the music was chosen to reflect the inspiration used while creating the dark art in the gallery. With every addition to the broadcast, some songs are removed and others put in their place. With it's recent popularity and need for more music, the playlist has expanded with luscious new tracks from unsigned artists and artists of major recording labels. 

Why this music?
On this station you will hear: Ethereal, Shoegazer, Darkwave, Gothic, Opera, 80s New Wave, Coldwave, Ambient, Middle Eastern Chant, Celtic. Some might even be trip-hop and ambient techno. A statement on genre is not made here. Each song is picked with a delicate consideration on the effect it has. The tracks move you in a brink of tears, ecstasy, haunting or nostalgic memories. Exploring the beauty of being a feeling human. This is the music that makes me feel. I love sharing it with you.

There are some who feel there is a certain inner sensuality in reaching into the depths of the human psyche. There we find the harbored tears, regrets, happy forgotten memories and dormant creativity. Our "Dark Doors". Some songs bring out depth hiding inside and these thoughts can be followed into a personal journey of the self. Use this broadcast for background music with your art (as I do), while working or play.
