The Necks
This edition features some long-form pieces from notable composers of what is often referred to as minimalism, or avant-garde, but can simply be labeled as “essential listening.” There is an excerpt from The Necks’ 1989 release “Sex,” a piece from controversial composer Charlemagne Palestine, an innovative orchestral movement from Roberto Cacciapaglia, and more. Enjoy a listen below.

RIP Leonard Cohen
This week the music world lost a legend in Leonard Cohen and the world of logic, reason, diversity, beauty, and love lost a little piece of its soul. This episode grapples with a variety of emotions through subversive and cathartic sounds. There’s anger, despair, hope, ruminations and importantly, lots of fucking noise. Long may it continue.
