Is Black Music
[Repeated from Wednesday 12am.] The world's first and longest running alternative Black music radio show, hosted by Art Terry. Tonight: the fourth instalment of our monthly series titled Cosmic Tuesdays. Each second Tuesday of the month we dive into the interstellar world of the Sun Ra Arkestra. Our featured artist is the composer saxophonist Charles Davis who was integral to not only developing the Arkestra sound, but also the sound of modern jazz. The programme includes an exclusive interview. For more information visit isblackmusic.com.
Today's Highlights
12:00pm - 1:30pm
The Hello Goodbye Show
Upbeat, eclectic new music show hosted by deXter Bentley. Today: abstract folk noise manipulator Me Lost Me (aka artist Jayne Dent) combines medieval instrumentation and field recordings with far flung narrative arcs that transport the listener into an otherworldly dimension that is both soothing and unsettling in equal measure. The new LP, The Good Noise playfully explores our interpretation of what we consider to be acceptable and unacceptable forms of 'music'. Visit hellogoodbyeshow.com for more information. [Repeated Tuesday 2.30am.]
