Upcoming events

Hi -

  Here's some info on some upcoming events of interest to Secret Music listeners. A couple of upcoming interviews on Secret Music, and a concert of note.

  First, on Sunday, June 16th, I will be celebrating the 26th anniversary of Secret Music with a live in-studio interview and performance by Symmetry, a local electronic musician. He's performed on the show before, and I'm always happy to have him back.

  Second, on Sunday, July 14, pianist Rick Cutler will be back in the WVKR studio for a live interview. He's got a new CD coming out, and I can't wait to hear it.

  And finally, on Thursday, June 20, a rare live concert by local ambient pioneer Pauline Oliveros at the BSP Lounge in Kingston, NY. Pauline has been around for a long time, and she doesn't perform much these days. And the BSP is a great venue. Hope to see you there.

Secret Music News, June 2013

Hi -

  My name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a
New Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 25
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.     

  I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states. I
usually prefer high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if
necessary. Just send me an email for more info. At least half of what I
play these days comes to me through downloads. Thanks.                

  Spring is here, and the Hudson Valley is beautiful. I've got a new
camera arriving tomorrow (IR modified) and I'm looking forward to taking some pictures with it. I
got to see Ben Neill perform a blistering jazz set at a local club. And
I'll be seeing ambient pioneer Pauline Oliveros perform at another local
club later this month. I had local musician Brian Farmer come into the
studio last Sunday to talk about his music and play CD's. He's a great guy
and it was good to talk to him again. This month I celebrate the 26th
anniversary of Secret Music. It's amazing that it's been that long. And
I'll be celebrating in grand style with a live on-air performance from
local musician Symmetry on Sunday, June 16th. It's sure to be a great
show. And coming up on Sunday, July 14, is an interview with pianist Rick
Cutler. He's got a new album coming out and I'm looking forward to hearing it.

  There's a new service out called DAR.fm. which allows you to record
radio shows (like mine). The website has more info. but it's basically a free service much
like a Tivo, which allows you to select and record radio shows for future
listening. Finally something for those of you who aren't around to listen
in on a Sunday morning.                  

  For more info or weekly playlists, check out my website below. I'm also
on Facebook, so look for me there too. Here's my top 20 playlist for May, 2013. Enjoy!

play these days comes to me through downloads. Thanks.                

  I'm glad to see that there are plenty of concerts in this genre of late.
I've been to a couple of local shows lately, one featuring guitarists Brian Henke, Helen Avakian
and Mark Sganga, and a piano concert featuring Louis Landon, Greg Maroney
and Joe Bongiorno. Both were great shows. And I'm going to see Ben Neill
play tomorrow night locally. He always puts on a great show. Hopefully
I'll get to see Robert Fripp and the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists play
in NYC later this month. And there were two larger events that I missed,
Ambicon in San Francisco, and the Zone Music Awards show in New Orleans. I
heartily encourage musicians to get out and play live if possible. It's a
great way to connect with your audience.

  I had a live interview with local musician Brian Farmer scheduled for
later this month, but it's been moved to Sunday, June 2 due to scheduling conflicts. I'm in
discussion with a couple of other artists who want to come talk and/or
play. I like talking to the artists and getting to know them. If you're in
the area or passing through and you have some free time on a Sunday
morning, let me know.

Upcoming concert in NYC

Hi -

  I don't often promote concerts in NYC, as it's a bit of a drive for Secret Music listeners. This one is special, however. On Sunday, May 26 at 4pm, Robert Fripp and the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists will perform live at Saint Marks Church in-the-Bowery. Robert has been teaching Guitar Craft courses for many years and this performance is an offshoot of that. A lot of people with acoustic guitars playing in unison. Not to be missed. Here's links to the Orchestra website and a ticket link website. Enjoy!
