I heard a program entitled "Music Mavericks" on the local public radio station last night for the first time. The feature was abstract piano. Mostly "composed" in the '50s and '60s as a complement to the abstract visual arts. The strucure of this music was described as being so complex that one would need a PhD in music composition to understand. Let's just say this was not my cup of tea (or acid punch.)

This does, however, look like it might be an interesting program to catch for the more obscure. Their website is listed below....Colin

Thanks for the tip.


I went there and it looks like the ting ting and dong dong music
station.


I remember seeing Harry Parch on an arts show as a teenager and
wondering what all that was about. Was sort of interesting.


BUT no one on the planet can tell me anything good about
the likes of Philip Glass. What hooey.


I miss the days of having Music From the Hearts of Space and
Echoes on local public radio though.


And for some reason my Firefox browser won't pick up
Netscape (Spinner) radio. That plays what the Firesign
Theater used to call "gas music from Jupiter" all day.

Interesting. Thanks for the link!

Ever hear any Gentle Giant? It's complex and abstract too.

See post below. I listen to this as often as possible and still have not tired of it.

I loved the Hearts of Space and Echoes - class programs. One of the guys I used to hang with back in college listened to HoS when he painted. He is now an internationally recognized astronomical artist and a damn good one too. He gave me a lot of his earlier works because he needed the room (aka kids' college fund.) It was fun to hang with him, get in an altered state, listen to HoS and watch him paint.....Colin

The Hearts Of Space shows are broadcast on Nevada Public Radio
Sunday nights. Also, I think you can stream shows from the
net. Less sure about Echoes.
