Having survived the yearly TOP 2000 1066, or whatever number, nostalgic radio broadcasting spree.. all stuff one has heard already a thousand times.. boring, but do not despair, Edge2.0 is back with unmistaken avant garde music from the fine electronic studios from the 60s and 70s. Further some typical Dutch draaiorgel (barrel organ) music from “the Arab” and Russian Tom Waits-like Albert Kuzevin of Yat-Kha. Plus a non-typical Tom Waits from an album covering experimental musical instruments: Orbitones, Spoon Harps, & Bellowphones.
Yodelling lessons about to be resumed.

Right, Remote Jeroen is back, so we have a freeform episode this week. A bagpipe orchestra from Bulgary, Brian Eno’s last, Gerard de Vries, Melt Banana, Angus MacLise and the B’52’s.
Not to forget more Yodel lessons and judging on the Jeroen’s progress, in a few months, he will be an impressive Yodelling debute.

This week almost uninterrupted music from the great A Closet of Curiosities blog. Indeed full of curious stuff: Aboriginal didjeridoo, Mexican Tarahumara, Visage by Luciano Berio, Evan Parker’s improvised music, Jim Carroll’s sound poetry and Electronic music by Halim El-dabh. Grey Calx, thanks for this marvelous blog, another time we will absolutely visit your basement!
No Yodel lessons this week due to Remote Jeroen’s absence. Jeroen indicated he definitely didn’t want to miss a lesson, so next week we’ll continue.

The accordion has this dusty feel, played by street musicians in klezmer or folk style. Quite a few accordionists are changing the way we look at and listen to the accordion. Not the least the Dutch duo Toeac, two young women playing the repertoire of young composers. The Motion Trio from Poland set their goal clearly: “to bring the accordion into the 21st century.” Their Playstation titled album is exactly that, playing, experimenting with contemporary sounds from among other sources, game computers. Avantgarde diva Pauline Oliveros can’t be missed in this broadcast either. As does improvisor Guy Glucevsek, who is present twice in this episode.
And the next few yodel lessons, we hope you’re making progress. At the end of the series, show us your talent, if not, we show you ours.

Dissidents have made their re-entrance in contemporary Dutch politics. A curious phenomenon that begs to be investigated. Edge digs into some historic dissidentals.. hold tight, fasten seat belts, freedom is approaching.. As promised, how to spell Eugene Chadbourne: well, Eugene Chadbourne.
And John Cage’s personal comment on 4’33:
“I have nothing to say / and I am saying it / and that is poetry / as I needed it”
