Start your day with serialism
I had a lot of fun co-hosting this morning's edition of "Where's the Beat?" for CKUT. Compared to other editions of the show I've heard, today's wasn't too crazy. In fact, most of it was pretty tame, except for the three and a half minutes of high-pitched experimental sine wave synthesizer. I had a pretty good spiritual-ish Ash Wednesday mix going in the middle, with some Pärt and Hildegard and Messiaen.
You can download today's broadcast here. (FYI: the first nine minutes are a spillover from the morning show of someone reading erotic poetry. College radio is really a medium of its own.)
I'll be back on the air in two weeks. And yes, I take requests.

And damnit, I was going to request Messiaen.
How avant garde is this? Are John Adams and Steve Reich too lame and mainstream for your ultrahip show?
Actually, I just searched your show archives, and apparently someone played 4'33". I admit, it takes balls to go dead air that long, but if that can be justified I want to hear some Clapping.
The day after the Steve Reich concert that I went to, they played all of Music for Eighteen Musicians on the air (until they ran out of time and had to give way to Montreal Jewish Magazine).
But no, minimalism isn't too square. I'll probably play some Adams soon.
