Composer and keyboardist of many colors Richard Teitelbaum, synths, samplers, piano (1939-2020) in three appearances at Roulette: a 1995 solo made for choreographer Alison Salzinger, a 1999 duo with violinist Mark Feldman, and in a 2011 trio with Elliott Sharp on bass clarinet and guitar and Andrew Cyrille on drums. Teitelbaum’s focus ranged from free improvisation to classical Japanese music to Jewish mysticism with influential projects beginning with Musica Elettronica Viva in the 1960s, with Alvin Curran and Frederic Rzewski, to his 1989 intermedia opera, Golem. Among many others then and since, Teitelbaum collaborated with Anthony Braxton, Nam June Paik, Joan Jonas, Leroy Jenkins, Steve Lacy, Alvin Lucier, and David Behrman.

"Tracking The Odds: The Roulette Concert Archive" is a monthly hour-long radio special produced by Roulette Intermedium (roulette.org) and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM and Standing Wave Radio. The broadcasts feature selected highlights from Roulette’s New York experimental music space dating from the early 1980s to the present. Thousands of rare, formative, and often unheard recordings by innovators and adventurous musicians populate the archive. Tracking The Odds airs the fourth Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is archived at wavefarm.org.

Founded in 1978, Roulette operates a 400-seat concert hall on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with a focus on experimental and unorthodox music and performance across all genres and media. It's archive of thousands of audio and video recordings is currently being restored.
