Newsflash!!Liquid Invert Sunshine has moved to the second Thursday of Every Month, 7 - 10:30 pm EST.
|
Liquid Invert Sunshine pays tribute to the legacy of progressive rock, rock-jazz fusion, and psychedelic music of all kinds through an exploration of the influence of this music on the contemporary electronic music and sample culture scene.
The show will consist of three hour blocks of uninterrupted, continuously mixed excerpts from material both old and new that will illustrate clear relationships between the classics and their contemporary counterparts.
The main focus of the mixing will be on long stretches of jamming, instrumental improv, and ambient soundscapes in order to create simulations of epic live improvisational exploration which I have always craved in this kind of music but have so rarely received.
The form of the show stems from my constant frustration with songs never being long enough, and their jam sections being even shorter. Liquid Invert Sunshine will be a place where these moments can be set free and extended to lengths and heights that truly suit their ambition but which have been stifled by whatever production or performance restrictions have kept them from this ambition over the years.
Finally, by blending and juxtaposing various eras of exploration within prog, jazz, psychedelic rock and electronica, the inherent timelessness of these forms will be emphasized, and their continuing relevance made apparent. But most importantly, I just really like this music and wish it would never end.
Tune in every first Saturday, 4 - 7 pm EST on PirateTV.
