Greetings all…

I did my first radio broadcast last night on [1] WPRB 103.3 out of Princeton, NJ. last night. The name of the show is, tenatively, “Music with Space.” I was filling in for [2] another DJ who as unable to do his show. This gave me the opportunity to try out my idea. I received some very positive responses on the studios phone! If you`re curious, click [3] here for the playlist.

The idea is to play a variety of genres of music with depth, lenght and breadth…music with expansive and dynamic character…Music that is non-invasive and though provoking. A soundtrack to dreamy reflection and meditation. Tracks that span the space from composers such as [4] György Ligeti and [5] Alvin Lucier , bands like electronic music pioneers like [6] Kluster and [7] Tangerine Dream and even onwards towards the drone/sludge rock band [8] Earth.

Part of the goal is to educate listeners about this under exposed music in a world of Wall of Sound, in your face and relentless mass market radio music. (No slight on this music, mind you…there is “space” in their too…[9] Sigur Ros  and [10] Radiohead being a prime example.)

Hopefully, in the near future, I`ll be able to fill you all in with information about a weekly show. As soon as I know, you`ll know.

If this pans out, I`ll be setting up a community site to support the broadcast as well.

I`m very excited about the opportunity to share this music, much of which is truely remarkable and rarely heard on the FM dial. I`m even more excited that it may be on WPRB.

Meanwhile, I`ll be doing another broadcast on Saturday-Sunday (11/29-11/30) from 12 AM until 2 AM. Please tune in, listen and, if you find that like what you hear, shoot an email to [11] program@wprb.com supporting the show. Don`t forget to mention the time you listened.

In the meantime, I`ll be engineerung the NJ side of [12] Doctor Cosmo`s show on WPRB call [13] Nocturnal Transmissions every Friday night between 10:00 PM and 1:00AM.

Thanks for your support,

Mike
