Produced by many contributors.

Sounds, songs, and radio art, from a variety of contributors. Often from different sources in the same show. Sample something you've never heard before, with familiar classics, and transmission art mixed in. Today, here the Secret Drum Band performance from Sat., March 30 at HiLo in Catskill, from a live WGXC broadcast. Secret Drum Band’s debut album, ​Dynamics​ (XRAY Records, August 2017), sees composers Lisa Schonberg, Allan Wilson, and Heather Treadway delving headway into creating living, breathing soundscapes, rich in rhythmic textures. Driven by five drummers, each song also employs an array of affected vocals, guitar, and synthesizers from noise musicians, often mimicking sounds found in nature. Stylistically, Secret Drum Band pull from a unique vantage point, drawing allusions from Liquid Liquid, The Creatures, and Crash Worship, as well as the composers’ previous groups Explode Into Colors and !!! (chk chk chk). ​
