Composer and reed player Anna Webber's Idiom VI for large ensemble of twelve (winds, brass, strings, synth, and rhythm section, conducted by Eric Wubbels) centers around extended techniques: any non-traditional way of producing sound on an instrument, including multiphonics, alternate fingerings, buzzes, air sounds, key clicks, overblown notes... Composer Webber is a Guggenheim and Berlin Prize Fellow, voted at the top of a Downbeat Critic's poll in 2020, and acclaimed recording artist as both player and composer.
"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.
