6-11-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

Today's festivities feature tracks of some length, since I will be away in Portugal and wanted to have a show ready, but put it together in a minimal amount of time while I get all my travel stuff together. I'm particularly happy to feature one of two extended tracks from Jack Curtis Dubowsky from his new release, "Bolsa Chica Calm", an homage to Bolsa Chica State Beach, one of his favorite surfing spots in Huntington Beach.  The piece references ambient, environmental, new age and experimental music, from vaporwave to Wendy Carlos’ "Sonic Seasonings." 

Enjoy!

Joel
