This episode of "Experimental Composers" was originally broadcast on WGXC on May 19, 2016.

Experimental Composers aired on WGXC from November 2015 to June 2017.

Two live sets recorded Spring 2016 featuring emerging guitarists with fresh and creative approaches: Yonatan Gat has embraced a esoteric approach to rock'n'roll – melding Middle Eastern, free jazz, surf, and Latin influences with his raw approach to sound and signature psychedelic solos heard here with his new trio, recorded live in concert at Pioneer Works.

Hubble (Ben Greenberg) has been fostering and cultivating his own unique reexamination of the the guitar as an instrument resulting in a minimalist and truly psychedelic whirlwind of notes here presented in a live solo set as part of the Clocktower Tetraphonics event.

"Experimental Composers" is produced by Clocktower Radio and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7-FM. Writes Clocktower Radio, "Performances from new and established musical innovators. The unfortunate and unintended messages that come attached to a title like Experimental Composers are many. Still it is one of the few labels to come out of the world of music that has not been co-opted by promoters, corporations, journalists, or lawyers. This one just seems to have anti-market goo on it. Hooray. It's also just bad English (as if to imply that these poor souls are themselves, in their flesh and blood, some kind of experiment and, perhaps, even expendable). And then there is the spectre of defying the wisdom of the great Edgar Varèse who said something like, 'I do not write experimental music. My experimenting is done before I make the music. Afterwards it is the listener who must experiment."
