Signal & Form on KTRT -- San Francisco! (Tuesday 5-7)

[GrantLaw]

Hi all!

This Tuesday's Signal & Form takes a deep dive into San Francisco's experimental music tradition — not as a nostalgia trip, but as a two-hour argument for why this one city kept producing such genuinely strange and ambitious music across six decades. We're talking tape composers, psychedelic rock as process music, punk, avant-metal, free improvisation, and chamber jazz, all sharing the same geography and often the same community.

Artists include Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, the Grateful Dead, Sly & the Family Stone, Dead Kennedys, Chrome, the Residents, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Primus, Fantômas, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Secret Chiefs 3, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Tin Hat Trio, Flipper, Deerhoof, and Xiu Xiu.

Tune in live on KTRT 97.5 or stream at radioroot.com. Tuesdays 5 to 7pm.

Darn, missed it! Is there any way to hear a recording? FWIW, I only check the BB once every few days, so I often miss your postings...

Thanks for the great programming!

Thanks so much, ML — really glad you’ve been enjoying the show!

Unfortunately this episode wasn’t recorded, but I do keep a full archive of every episode at the link below, including playlists, show notes, and Apple Music links so you can explore the music on your own time. The San Francisco notes are already posted.

… and good tip on the posting timing. I’ll try to get promos up earlier so they don’t slip by!
