Composer, bassist, improviser Nick Dunston in two performance excerpts from concerts at Roulette: the 2022 trio, Spider Season, featuring Kalia Vandever on trombone/fx and DoYeon Kim on gayageum/voice plus "La Operación: Reverberated" from 2021, reflecting on Puerto Rican justice, with Stephanie Lamprea, voice; Joy Guidry, bassoon; Weston Olencki, trombone/electronics; Anna Webber, sax/flute; and Ches Smith, percussion. A highly valued collaborator (Marc Ribot, Ingrid Laubrock, Tyshawn Sorey, Vijay Iyer) these pieces are described as raw and surrealistic investigations into imagination.

"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.
