Tune in today (Tuesday, 10/14) from 12pm to 2pm for “Overlooked” with Rob Saffer—a 10th Anniversary Show!

“Overlooked” first hit WGXC’s airwaves on October 22, 2015 with a show called “Couplets & Connections.” In a nod to that first show, host Rob Saffer will play newly released music from all corners of the musical spectrum, including a few pairings that connect either through a shared composition or shared band members. There will be some prog rock, undefinable rock, gnarly guitar jazz, big noise with and without vocals, contemporary composition mashups, along with a couple of couplets with hockets and Beethoven. The show will commence with “Overlooked’s” original theme song: Slim Gaillard’s “Slim’s Jam.”

“Overlooked” is a show focusing on overlooked and underplayed music of all varieties: jazz, improvisational, international, and other fringe music, ancient to future, familiar to rare, classic to weird. Broadcast live from Overlook Mountain in Ulster County, “Overlooked” offers programs focused solely on newly released music along with others that focus on specific musical themes or history.

Host Rob Saffer is the former Executive Director and Producer of the Creative Music Foundation and Creative Music Studio. While living in Brooklyn for 25 years, he served on advisory boards for Celebrate Brooklyn! and Symphony Space. He also curated the Brooklyn Museum’s summer jazz series and helped found The Mingus Big Band with Mingus’s widow, Sue.

Tune in tomorrow (Wednesday 10/8) from 4:30 pm to 5pm for “Views from the Watershed” — a program about the landscape, history, and politics of New York City’s water supply, and the complicated relationship between the City and the Catskills communities that steward 90% of its water. It tells the stories of the watershed through firsthand, intimate perspectives from local people (including a historian, a dairy farmer, a former DEP commissioner, a grave restorer, and a forester) on what it means to be a part of the water system.

This month we bring you “Episode 1: Connected by Water” featuring the backstory to NYC’s drinking water, 90% of which comes from the Catskills, 100+ miles from the City.

Tune in on Tuesday (9/30) from 2pm to 3pm for “Bells, Bugs, Whispers & Plinks: Spontaneous Operations” with Stephen Bradley and Edward Ruchalski.

“Bells, Bugs, Whispers & Plinks” is inspired by a Wave Farm artist residency that co-hosts Stephen Bradley and Edward Ruchalski were awarded in the summer of 2019. The radio show focuses on original music using field recordings, sound sculptures, found sounds, and improvisations as sound sources for both solo and collaborative music created by Bradley and Ruchalski specifically for each show. Occasionally, works by other musicians are broadcasted. These works are based on concepts of acoustic ecology, chance music, musique concrète, microtonality, lowercase, and ambient music. Please contact Bradley at ([email protected]) or Ruchalski at ([email protected]) for information about the program.

Tune in today (Monday 9/29) from 3pm to 4pm, for “Transmission Ecologies” produced by Afroditi Psarra. This episode features Maria Thrän and Samuel Hertz.

“Aeolian Radio” uses a kinetic pendulum antenna sculpture, vocals, field recordings, and live electronics to produce a wide-ranging exploration of radio frequencies, interference rhythms, and vocal timbres. Through polarity shifts, the pendulum creates an interference rhythm that the artists take as a starting point for developing the work in three sections. Thrän and Hertz perform alongside and embody these rhythms, vocalizing in consonance and dissonance with its signals and static. Successive studio sessions with the sculpture led to the development of a number of custom performance interfaces, through which the voice and antenna meld with, and augment, each other in surprising and generative ways. The term “Aeolian” evokes the classical Aeolian harp — an instrument played by the wind — drawing a parallel between natural wind energy and the invisible electromagnetic winds that “Aeolian Radio” harnesses. This piece asks: what happens when the frequency range we make ourselves sensitive to is expanded to include these more-than-human winds? How do the rhythms of non-human entities interfere with, highlight, amplify, or cancel out our human patterns? “Aeolian Radio” is an experiment that develops as a fever dream where these contrasting rhythms form a dense ecosystem, switching between the natural, the artificial, and the unplaceable.

Turn out on Thursday, September 25th at 7pm Upstairs at the Avalon Lounge for the next edition of “Breaking the Algorithm IRL,” a new monthly series presented by Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM as part of our Local Waves initiative and the show “Local Waves in Conversation.”

This month’s event features a discussion with Adriana Tampasis, a Hudson Valley-based composer, performer, and poet. She has composed for solo, chamber, and large ensemble groups, integrating traditional and nontraditional notations including narrative and graphic scores into her compositions. Her work is inspired by the fusion of jazz, chamber, and literary arts, employing both improvisation and through-composition. She has recently held a residency at Westben Centre for Connection & Creativity as a Performer-Composer and is currently recording an album with her jazz-fusion quartet, Pocket Merchant.
