Sine Languages

One of my BSR colleagues started a new show entitled 'Sine Languages', which I am quite enjoying. So, I figured it would be a good idea to pass on the link to you all. Make sure to subscribe/follow, if you like!

Starting this fall, Sine Languages will be in the BSRlive schedule, on Sundays at 6pm.

Schubert'ing it

Tonight I'll be filling in on the air for the Schubert Report, from 10-12. A tough set of shoes to fill, but I'll do my best. Expect lots of artsy-fartsy music, electro acoustic, modern classical, film music, ambient, and much more!

SETI rockin sounds

Last night's radio show, an avantgarde tip o' the hat to the oscars, and all creative movie music makers!

Baby Boots / The Anti Grammys

Tune in tonight, 8-9pm for the maiden voyage show from Misterboots. Serving up sound combinations so dense and fresh you'll wish you had an extra set of ears to take it all in. Good thing for the archives!

Just realized the last mix of avantgard-y of songs I threw together (not under the guise of a "spring mix"), named the Quelformat? mix, happened in the fall. So, with the leaves already changing here in the northeast, I figured I'd make this mix a partie deux.

The beginning starts with a beautiful accordion solo rendition of a Phillip Glass piece, followed by a dive (through a bit more accordion) into some Alvin Curran (representing Providence!), followed by some percussion, improvised structures..oh just see below. And as always, an eternal indebtedness to John Lurie, not only for the use of his artwork, but also for all of the great music he created over the years.

• What Capitalism Was - Facades
• The Beat Circus - Hypnogogia
• The Beat Circus - The Good Witch
• Alvin Curran - Music is not Music
• Ben Frost - Leo Needs a New Pair of Shoes
• Billy Martin - Killing the Drought
• Ches Smith - The Contra Alto Clarinet in E Flat
• Fred Frith - Screen
• Fred Frith - Bricks for Six
• Vincent Courtois, Sylvie Courvoisier & Ellery Eskelin - Extended
• DJ Spooky - Claude DeBussy (excerpt from Rhythm Science)
• Morgan Packard - A Place Worth Keeping Part 2
• DJ Spooky - Disjecta (excerpt from Rhythm Science)
• Hal Willner - We Travel the Subways
• David Shea - Canto I-Xx
• Raz Mesinai - The Blind Owl
• The Susie Ibarra Trio - Trance No. 1
• Kim Gordon/DJ Olive/Ikue Mori (SYR 5) - Olive's Horn
• Marc Ribot - The End
