Welcome to another edition of Transmusic Airwaves. It’s unconventional free-form radio. I’m your guest host, Jeff Wootton.
Not enough stress in your life? Or just looking to soothe your soul with some disruptive disturbance…on this episode of Transmusic Airwaves we’ll explore some “Difficult Music”, some unintentional, and some just strange enough to walk you safely just a little past the edge…oops. Like music for the night, this show may best be heard in a darkened room drenched by candle light. But it’s not all dark in here! You might just find yourself tiptoe tapping to a familiar beat…but the foundation may crumble at any moment.
Groundless music, sounds without a foundation…step off the edge and float … or sink! Hold on to the railing…if there is one. Some of this music is like a five alarm fire in slow motion…monkeys with a gun trying to stop all the noise. Listen up, because hear we go!
