Secret Music News, March 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.               

  Not much new and exciting on the music front in this area. Hopefully
spring will be here soon and I can go out and work on my photography. I'm always interested in
any relevant local concert info. If you're performing in the area, or know
someone who is, let me know so I can tell my listeners. And I'm looking to
book some live interviews/performances on Secret Music, too. If you're in
the area on a Sunday morning and want to stop by and talk and/or play,
email me and let me know.

  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 February, 2013.
Enjoy!

Secret Music Playlist, March 24, 2013

Hi -

  Here's my playlist for Sunday, March 24, 2013. I decided to play music from
three ambient music pioneers, Vidna Obmana, Robert Rich and Steve Roach. I
could easily devote three hours to each of them and barely scratch the surface of their
output. Enjoy!

downloads of your releases in lieu of actual CD's, that's fine with me,
too. Just send me an email and let me know. Thanks.              

  It's still winter here. I thought the groundhog saw his shadow and
spring was coming soon or something. Coulda fooled me. Got to see Eric
Carbonara and Alexander Turnquist play, which was nice. A Viberatto is
playing this week nearby, unless we get snow, which is a possibility. I finally got around to
editing an interview I did with Will Ackerman back in December and
broadcast excerpts from it on my show. He's a great guy and it's always a
pleasure to sit down and talk to him. I'm hoping that with spring coming,
I can start scheduling some live interviews and/or performances here on
Secret Music. If you're interested, let me know.
