After the weather and news, tune in for a conversation between Amadeus Julian Regucera, Music Curator at EMPAC, and Wave Farm Radio Director Meredith Kooi. They talk about the upcoming TOPOS Music Festival that's happening on August 28th, 29th, and 30th. Also featured is an excerpt from Iannis Xenakis' Persépolis (1971).

About the TOPOS Music Festival
TOPOS is a gathering for listening, exploration, and discovery—a place where musical experimentalism becomes an experience open to all. Join us for five extraordinary productions that invite inquiry and pleasure, provocation and dance.

From country to house, chamber music to noise, TOPOS features the world premieres of commissioned projects by composer-performers Raven Chacon and Sarah Davachi, alongside performances by King Britt, Suzi Analogue, and Myles Ortiz-Green in Liberation Meditations: A Call.

Two rare presentations of Iannis Xenakis’s landmark electronic piece Persépolis, realized by sound artist Micah Silver, and a screening of the documentary Xenakis: Portrait 1971-72 round out the program. A community barbeque open to all celebrates the festival’s final day.

Each festival event becomes its own topos: a charged site of experience and wonder for every listener.

Tune into the “Friday Afternoon Show” for national news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community, made by volunteers in the community.
