Program 832: Listener Submissions

KALW Broadcast Date: July 6, 2025 | Host: Ed Herrmann

If you think inviting listeners to offer their music for broadcast would result in a wildly varied, even incoherent, program, you are correct. Ed Herrmann sorted through industrial noise, gamelan, computer modified flutes, toy pianos, field recordings, manic laughter, robots, ancestor rituals, inscrutable electronics, and more (even some almost conventional chamber music) to make this program like no other you’ve heard. Don’t blame him for how it sounds—it’s your music!
