The Radiophonic Broadcast
The Radiophonic Broadcast explores innovations in sound and music, covering field recordings, fictional journeys, Foley-inspired performances, and even music made by fungi. It features conversations and interviews with experimental artists, followed by uninterrupted compositions by those interviewees.
