This live broadcast from Overlook Mountain will feature 25 newly released pieces that span the gamut: from modern chamber music and art punk to Afro-Futurist mashups and French-fried Canterbury improv. There will be dissonant guitars, microtonal jazz, Scottish small pipes, ephemeral vocals, noise-poetry, psych-prog, and even a film score without a film from bands domestic and international, by musicians just debuting and others who’ve been active for many decades.
