8-3-24 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

Happy Post-Birthday to Terry Riley! (June 24th)

Enjoy an early composition from 1965 followed by a new composition honoring Terry Riley's, "Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band", the "B-side" of his classic release, "A Rainbow In Curved Air". "

Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band" is a saxophone-based drone piece featuring tape loops and edits, drawing on Riley's all-night improvisatory performances in the 1960s.

The balance of the program features the usual musical shenanigans you've come to know and love from Pushing The Envelope.

Have fun,

Joel
