"Aka Saga, Part 2: AKAKLAKLAK—Alak" by Pekka Siren and Agnieszka Waligorska is featured today. The second part of the "Aka Saga" continues the story begun in AKAKLAKLAK. Following the fate of Kala's son, Alak, the work makes use of the human voice and ancient musical instruments and is produced in a high-tech style. Presented in Finnish with an English introduction.

In ten years as a weekly national series, 1987-1998, New American Radio (NAR) commissioned and distributed over 300 original works: conceptual new drama, associational documentary, language explorations, sonic meditations, environmental compositions, musical explorations and works that pioneer new dimensions in acoustic space. Wave Farm is thrilled to be partnering with New American Radio to ensure these works remain available to listeners today and into the future through this streaming online radio channel, a weekly radio show on Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7-FM, and an online archive at https://wavefarm.org/radio/nar/.

New American Radio was organized by Helen Thorington, Executive Producer and Regine Beyer, Associate Producer. A special thanks to both Helen Thorington and Jo-Anne Green for their generous support and collaboration of this partnership, and their contribution to the field at large!
