A listening session and conversation with Johannes Fricke, son of the late Florian Fricke whose band Popol Vuh was an innovating force in electronic, ambient, psychedelic, fusion, world, and progressive rock in the 1970s. This session explores the early electronic and Moog work along with the soundtracks made for Werner Herzog and tracks from a 2011 Popol Vuh remix album.

Popol Vuh are considered one of the most influential German 70s progressive rock avant-garde bands. Their records Affenstunde (1971) and In den Gärten Pharaos (1972), played with the Moog III Synthesizer, are fundamentally influential works in Electronica.

"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."
