Overlooked: New Releases Focused on Space & Place (Audio)

May 27, 2025

In this live broadcast from Overlook Mountain, host Rob Saffer will play a variety of newly released music - rock, jazz, international and ambient - that emphasizes space and place. Some of the recordings will showcase space between notes and between the musicians themselves; one can imagine where the musicians are in relation to each other. Other recordings will emphasize place - how the room in which the music was recorded affects the sound and aural experience.
