Produced by Clocktower Radio.
For several years, producer Elliot Stapleton hosted a show on Clocktower Radio called Sound The Alarm in which he shared, compared, and illuminated tracks and trends in contemporary music. In this episode from 2012, we hear musicians that have mastered the art of timelessness and recall the beauty found in losing track of time. Silence, quietness and drone reign supreme during this so-called ¨hour.¨ Featuring tracks by Richard Skelton, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Michael Chapman, and more.
"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."
