This is what has been happening on the weekly FFF show for the past few months. If you’re ever interested in listening to these shows and can’t catch them at the 2:00 p.m. time slot on Thursdays, they are archived and streamable on the Free Form Freakout page over on the KMSU website for two weeks after…
On this installment of the podcast, I was fortunate to have an actual in-studio guest back on the show, which it has been quite some time since I’ve been able to do that. With the proper social distancing measures in place, I was joined at the KMSU studios by the Minneapolis guitarist, Matt Sowell. Matt…
On this installment, I highlight some of the great new music, or in some cases music that is new to me, that has arrived over the past month or so. I also pulled out a couple of releases from two pioneering figures within the realms of free jazz and the avant garde who we sadly…
On this installment of the podcast, I’ll be digging into the work of the London-based experimental and avant-garde label, Paradigm Discs. Founded in 1995 by Clive Graham of the long-running improv group, Morphogenesis, Paradigm Discs has since gone on to put out releases by the likes of Pauline Oliveros, Trevor Wishart, Daphne Oram, Adam Bohman,…

On this installment, which will be the last one for 2020, I play a bunch of music from releases that arrived mostly later in the year, some even within the past few weeks. There are just a couple of things included that deviate from that a bit, but once again there is a lot of…
On this installment of the podcast, I’ll be digging into the work of James Toth, who’s perhaps best known to most listeners out there for the music that he has created under the name Wooden Wand. With a vast discography that stretches beyond that moniker and back into the mid-’90s, Toth emerged from the U.S.…
For this installment of the podcast, I have another show filled with a bunch of mostly new music for you, a lot of this stuff arriving just within the past few weeks even. I’ve been so impressed and inspired by the steady stream of really high quality sounds coming out of late, so I’m excited…
On this installment of the podcast, I dig into the work of the Chicago-based independent label, Trouble In Mind Records.
