Bells, Bugs, Whispers & Plinks: Elliptical Orbits (December 30, 2025) (Audio)
"Bells, Bugs, Whispers & Plinks" is inspired by a Wave Farm artist residency that co-hosts Stephen Bradley and Edward Ruchalski were awarded in the summer of 2019. The radio show focuses on original music using field recordings, sound sculptures, found sounds, and improvisations as sound sources for both solo and collaborative music created by Bradley and Ruchalski specifically for each show. Occasionally, works by other musicians are broadcasted. These works are based on concepts of acoustic ecology, chance music, musique concrète, microtonality, lowercase, and ambient music. Please contact Bradley at (sbradley@umbc.edu) or Ruchalski at (edward.ruchalski@gmail.com) for information about the program.
