Nothing Is Real Radio Hour: More 90s Noise and No Genre Broadcast Image. Created by Sam Sebren. (Feb 29, 2020)

Created by Sam Sebren.

NIRRH creator and host Sam Sebren takes another look back to the noise and no genre scene of the 1990’s, of which he played a part as front man and songwriter for NYC no genre band, Splotch, from 1993 to 1999. Sebren curates a selection of sounds by bands and colleagues from that scene including Quintron, Japanther, Temple of Bon Matin, Alva, TLASILA, Thee Hydrogen Terrors, Harry Pussy, Jason Willett, Aaron Dilloway, Flying Luttenbachers, Leslie Q, Zeek Sheck, Splotch, Deerhoof, Hal McGee/Chris Phinney, Don Fleming, and more.

The Nothing Is Real Radio Hour, created by Sam Sebren broadcasts on WGXC 90.7-FM from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the fifth Saturday (of months with 5 Saturdays) as part of Wave Farm's Transmission Arts and Experimental Sound programming. The Nothing Is Real Radio Hourincludes sound and transmission arts works by Sebren, and occasionally works by other artists, both pre-recorded and performed live in the studio.

In a multidisciplinary practice, much of Sebren's recent work has challenged notions of accepted reality in art, advertising, and public spaces. In mediums including sound, Sebren's work blurs actual, imagined, and technological realities as he critiques socio-political rules & regulations in our consumer "culture" and urges his audience to smile and re-think our priorities.
