Greetings! I treated this episode of PTE as if I were filling in required words needed to complete a Mad Libs, a word game that might be categorized as a phrasal template game. In order to create today's playlist, the compositions required the inclusion of an acoustic instrument & a non-instrument such as electronics, tape, digital delay, computer, etc.  Enjoy!

Greetings! The winter solstice, or hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere. For that hemisphere, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, and when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. With the winter solstice having occurred on December 21st and the advent of winter, it seemed appropriate to play music addressing these topics. Enjoy!

Greetings! One of the joys of hosting PTE over the past 35 years is the opportunity to present multiple genres over a two hour period and make the flow, or non-flow, of the program interesting.  This week we have creative improv, brushing on both jazz and classical realms. Then we move one to contemporary composition, electroacoustics & experimental ambient.  And that's only in Phase One... Enjoy!

Greetings! So, during my recent jaunt to Europe, I found a killer used CD/vinyl store in Budapest and was tempted to dispose of my clothes and just fill by suitcase up with CDs. The track from George Harrison's "Electronic Sound" is a sampling from the stack I did procure, with other items likely to show up in the coming weeks. I'm also happy to highlight electric guitarist Garrett Gleason's "Myths & Hymns", incredibly imaginative take on Adam Guettel's beautiful song cyle. Enjoy!

Greetings! PTE closes out the month of September by celebrating National Piano Month with a taste of numerous musical genres featuring the instrument that Andrés Segovia described as, " a monster that screams when you touch its teeth" or as author Maria Cristina noted, “The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind.”  That being said, I'm particularly fond of Thelonius Monk's observation, “The piano ain't got no wrong notes.” Enjoy!

Greetings! Much new listening for us all this week!  I'm particularly thrilled to open this week's program with new music from composer/reed player, Ken Field's latest Neuma Records release, "The Canopy".

In addition, lots of music from other folks who've you've heard on PTE previously, featuring new releases from Ken Wallraf, Trem77 & Fletina (in tandem w/ fellow sound artist, Peter Wullen).  Lastly, I broke out my copy of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" to close things out.

Greetings! Welcome to Pushing The Envelope's annual celebration of International Strange Music Day, the brainchild of New York City musician/composer Patrick Grant & creator of the public music ensemble, Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars. The purpose of International Strange Music Day is to expand people's musical horizons by introducing them to genres, artists, and sounds that they may not normally listen to.  I hope my selections for today's program serve that intent.

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.

Greetings! This week's program features music from three very different artists, none of whom I would have ever run into were it not for the fine folks at the "Get Music" web-site (https://www.getmusic.fm/). "Get Music" is an artist promotion site that, from the music addict's point of view, facilitates discovery of primarily, though not exclusively, DIY artists in varied genres.  Included in this week's program are three releases that particularly caught my attention from We Are Echo People, tttc & Newforyu.  Check 'em out!

Greetings! I definitely employed a very "stream of consciousness" vibe as I programmed this week's show, starting with a cello track I couldn't fit into my earlier cello-themed show, getting to a couple of Petridisch tracks, 80's vintage Robert Wyatt's take on a Chic tune, new music from my compadre Joe Benzola and a bunch of other new things.

Greetings! By the time you hear this, I'll have already returned from my 2 week jaunt to the wilds of Alaska, but I couldn't resist the episode's title focused on compositions for cello and derived, NOT from the 2012 film I've never seen, OR Phil Collins' second solo album from 1982, BUT the 1930 classic Marx Brothers film, "Animal Crackers"!   That being said, I digress.  Enjoy a panoply of cello stylings from the finest cellists and composers of our times.

Greetings! Using Teiku's new self-titled 577 Record release as a springboard (in which the ensemble interprets Ukrainian Passover melodies in the jazz tradition of Creative Music), I wondered if I could cobble a Passover oriented set with music I had in my own collection.  The fruits of such an endeavor inhabits Phase One. In Phase Two, I wanted to focus on the incredible musicianship of guitarist/pianist Kevin Kastning and his improvisational pairings with diverse musicians from around the globe. Enjoy!

Greetings! This week's program certainly emphasizes "multi-genre", a concept that has always been the keystone to the programming of "Pushing The Envelope" over the past 35 years (this fall, to be technical). A quick glance at this week's playlist will make that quite apparent. Cybotron to String Noise playing Alvin Lucier to The Allman Brothers (R.I.P. Dickey Betts) in the same program... makes sense to me! Enjoy!
