Eccentric and often reclusive, influential British singer/songwriter Roy Harper qualifies as a "musician's musician" having being consistently revered - in the decades since he released his 1967 debut - by such fellow artists as Led Zeppelin who wrote "Hats Off to Roy Harper," Pink Floyd who invited him to sing lead on "Have a Cigar" from Wish You Were Here, Kate Bush with whom he collaborated several times including on his 1990 album "Once," and Joanna Newsom who cited Harper's 1971 album Stormcock as an inspiration for her album "Ys." Consequently, last September Newsom invited Harper to support her at the Royal Albert Hall in London when Harper performed the album "Stormcock" in its entirity.

on
Talk's Cheap with Jason Sigal
Chandeliers drink the same Chicagoland water that hydrates fellow hyperrhythmic abstract electronic pop groups like Mahjongg and Lazer Crystal. This water turns the vibraphone of late-90s Chicago post-rock into a synth, and adds a phat trigger to every drum.

on
Stochastic Hit Parade with Bethany Ryker
For the first time since the show began, the Stochastic Hit Parade
features a live performance of Xenakis' stochastic music. What's that you say? By definition, a stochastic process is one that is unprovable by theory....random, in other words. Xenakis  (an architect, composer and all-around genius-type) used computer algorithms, game theory and algebra to generate random sequences of notes. The JACK string quartet comes to WFMU's studio to perform all four of Xenakis' string quartets, including St/4-1,080262, one of Xenakis' emblematic stochastic works.

Smith, a member of the fabled West Coast Jewelled Antler collective and bands such as Thuja, Mirza, Ulaan Khol & Hala Strana, rarely performs live in a solo setting, so do not miss this treat recorded especially for WFMU. Once described as Blixa Bargeld covering Swell Maps instrumentals, Smith traverses the worlds of folk, improvisation, psych and drone, and this first visit to WFMU finds Smith on a sparse lo-fi cosmic journey into the big night sky.

The perfect soundtrack to declining temperatures.

on
Brian Turner's show
The grindcore kings of Los Angeles take time out from obsessing over Glenn Danzig's house to book a bonafide East Coast tour and stop by Brian's show. For the uninitiated, this band gets a heavy goofus tag for all their Arctic-warrior, sword-wielding, cocaine-sniffing album artwork, ridiculous lowbrow culture samples and, well, generally limited attention span. But when they crank and get things going they create some of the most chaotic,
freeform metal out there. Epic, furious blasts of the heavy and classic vein today from a bunch of guys who are true students of all forms of metal.

Brian Turner's show
Besides being the driving force behind Prurient, Dominick Fernow's Hospital Productions label has grown into a major force of the USA Noise underground releasing quality titles from the likes of Burning Star Core, Ramleh, Akitsa, Maurizio Bianchi and more. He's also just literally come out of the underground, with his Hospital record store taking over the expanded upstairs space of the former Jammyland record store on 60 East 3rd Street in Manhattan. Dom's dropping by today with an assortment of his favorite metal, black noise and who knows what else. Tune in for total obliteration!
