Musical radiation till midnight ………….

Making a programme about Frank Zappa is just like sending a child to a candy store. There is so much and you can select anything; you are almost flooded with sensations. Tonight’s programme is an ode to the man who would have become 75 this year. Completely in style it is an hour long Zappa pieces in collage: interviews, commentary, sound effects, a range of music styles and of course some audience participation time. Also in style: we have not selected the most obvious pieces and if we did, we replaced it with other versions and there is not even a chronological order in the different bands and history. After all, everything in Zappa’s world is one big composition: The Big Note.

From our Berlin ambassador Richard Hudgins; music includes Journeymann Trax, Mark McGuire, Oneohtrix Point Never, Imre Kiss & Mind Over Mirrors.

December is the month of lists for music lovers, but THE list for many people is the Top 2000 Aller Tijden (Top 2000 Of All Time), which annually afflicts the national radio for over a month. “If you can’t beat them, join them”, producer Maurice Dumont thought. For this episode of Free Radicals he selected eleven very divers reinterpretations from Top 2000 hits. From jazz to ambient, from folk to funk.

Kairos. A meditation to contemporary music. Today Kairos opens with Sophie Hunger who will perform in Tivoli-Vredenburg in Utrecht on 6 December. You will find the entire editorial staff of WoNO Magazine in the audience. Furthermore we have music of old friends, such as Broeder Dieleman, Luik, Dustin O’Halloran, Giardini di Mirò en Gavin Bryars. Jeff Buckly and The Style Council were waiting to be played, but they constantly had no chemistry with Kairos’ other guests. They mix well in this company.

A Journey into Space with IDM, techno, electronics, ambient, drum ‘n’ bass, rave and instrumental hiphop.
