Pianist and composer Kelly Moran in a selection of electro-acoustic keyboard works recorded in concert at Roulette in 2017-18. The sole engineer and producer of her five solo albums, Moran specializes in works that employ extended techniques such as prepared piano which, by inserting foreign objects between the piano strings, gives the instrument a kind of gamelan or autoharp sound. Her album releases include Bloodroot on Telegraph Harp Records in 2017, and Ultraviolet on Warp Records in 2018 which is described as incorporating dazzling inflections of jazz and dream pop, neoclassical and black metal, darkness and light. Other projects and collaborations include Cellular Chaos, Voice Coils, Charlie Looker Ensemble, Margaret Leng-Chan, Yarn/Wire, and Oneohtrix Point Never, among many.

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.
