Tune in during the 4 p.m. hour for a conversation about the upcoming Reembodied Sound 2024 festival at EMPAC with EMPAC's music curator Amadeus Julian Regucera who joins over Zoom. Also joining the conversation to talk about the presentation of David Tudor's 1973 work Rainforest IV as part of the festival are Matthew Goodheart, who is Assistant Professor of Music in the Department of Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and EMPAC Visiting Artists John Driscoll and Phil Edelstein. Then, during the 5 p.m. hour, we'll have another month's edition of The Month Ahead with Chosen Family Zine with Mike Amari and Liam Singer who are live from the Acra studio.

Reembodied Sound 2024 is a two-day festival and symposium on transducer-based music and sonic art, co-presented with the Rensselaer Department of Arts. The symposium has three tracks: a remounting of Rainforest IV by students of the Rensselaer Arts Department with John Driscoll and Phil Edelstein in commemoration of its 50th anniversary in 2023; a series of demonstrations and paper presentations, selected from an open call that received 189 project submissions from around the world, culminating in a keynote address by noted sound art scholar and composer Cathy van Eck; and a concert of transducer-based works, along with sound installations throughout the EMPAC building for visitors to experience during the festival.

The Month Ahead with Chosen Family Zine is a monthly update about upcoming interesting events in the Hudson Valley. Chosen Family Zine is organized by Mike Amari, who is an event organizer for Opus 40, Basilica, and other venues, and Liam Singer, who is the owner of The Avalon Lounge in Catskill, NY and a member of Wave Farm's Board of Directors.
