In this live broadcast from Overlook Mountain, “Overlooked” host Rob Saffer will primarily highlight contemporary, classically-inspired tunes that are often known as "New Music." Through compositions short and long, brand new and classic, listeners will hear the latest in newly recorded (and a few re-released) music that varies from scratchy to sweet and features piercing strings, resonant vocals, and clattering pianos. The New Music will be complemented with some ceremonial world music, explosive power rock, and edgy, improvised pieces that are stylistically tough to define.
