Episodes
-
Alien Encounter
Aliens and space music are favorite topics of electronic music creators. This episode shines the light on some of those works. We’ll journey through alien conversations, abductions, and our own alien nature. Syndromeda is heavily featured in this episode, because there’s so much great material...
-
Stormy Skies
In Western North Carolina, two years after Hurricane Helene changed everything, we are still on edge when a storm comes through the region. This weekend was no exception: south of us, Hurricane Isaias left dead in its wake, along with severe damage along its path. In this region, the damage was…

Invocation
We’ll hear a selection of RadioSpiral library tracks today for I Scream Sunday, in hopes of invoking the feel of the autumn season. Darkness gathers, the veil between worlds thins, we invoke darker forces hidden from us in the summer sunlight. Michael Brückner: “Invocation” (Drones) David Gerard:...
-
Remembrance
In every life, there are pivotal moments that help define a person, a country, a world. This week, the US and the world commemorated the 25th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001. I was only a mile and a half away from the World Trade Center, up Fifth Ave. I could see much of it…

Shipwreck
Today’s edition of I Scream Sunday is inspired by “Full Fathom Five” (Ariel’s Song) from Shakespeare’s Tempest. We explore bells, the ocean, the siren song of love, and more. Conni St. Pierre: “Bells of the Sea” (Beneath the Waves: Legends of Lost Cities) Robert Dorschel: “If she’s my siren, then...
-
The Four Seasonings
Food is sustenance, and so much more. It provides comfort, warmth, perhaps memories of home. Today let’s play with our food! In the second hour, the live set — somewhat abbreviated — is called Telicherry Heat. An homage to Lucette Bourdin’s “Pondicherry Heat”, this set celebrates the humble black...
-
Living Memory
I Scream Sunday is back today with a program about history and memory. Skroink is getting involved in a beautiful and difficult oral history project in the American South. Without getting into details (because I can’t), it’s going to be fraught to say the least. The conversations so far have been...
-
Hands of the Mothers
Today is Mother’s Day in the United States. Our relationships with our mothers can be complex, or beautiful, or comforting, or even nonexistent. But one fact remains: we are only here because of them. We often take that for granted. A mother’s hands are always busy; they do so much. They provide...
-
Snow Tides
This long overdue episode highlights the music of Norwegian composer Erik Wøllo, whose album Snow Tides was released in early March of this year. He has been composing and performing since 1980, and his musical range is wide indeed -- from rock and jazz to experimental electronic and classical...
-
The Overview Effect
It takes an extraordinary team of people, with technology that defies imagination, along with exceptional courage, to send humans into space. Each time we do, we contribute to something greater than our individual selves. The successful Artemis II journey reminds us that together we are capable…
more -
A Wind In the Door
Wind finding its way through and under doors, window, and other gaps, can be incredibly eerie. This episode explores the wind. ʞu¡0ɹʞS: “Ghosts” (Over. Tone.) This track was crafted from the sound of high wind through heavy steel doors in a studio that ʞu¡0ɹʞS had in Los Angeles years ago. The...
-
Hope and Fear
Fear and hope often live together in an uneasy collaboration. Today we explore both emotions, and the boundaries between the two. John DuVal: “River of Fear (slight reprise)” (Heavy Water) Nettless: “The Lurking Fear” (From Beyond) Gypsy Witch: “Hopes, Fears and Longing” (Unspoken) Simon Slator:...
-
Colder Sun
Last week we did a show called Cold Sun, and in the course of the show I was asked if I were going to play anything by the project called Cold Sun. I confess I had forgotten about this particular project (shame on me!), and we didn’t have any of the music in our library… until now. This week I’m...
-
Cold Sun
It’s interesting how random remarks in life cause crazy inspiration. This past week I read a weather update from our local (very skilled) meteorologist who referred to the “cold sun” — and that hooked me. So here’s a very chilly show about the sun in winter, and other types of cold light....
-
Snow Moon
Today is the full “Snow” moon, shining its cold light on the winter world. Loneward: “Hush Upon the Wind” (Moongate) Conni St. Pierre: “Setting Moon” (Between the Branches: Legends Of The Wild) Roy Mattson: “Melancholy Moon” (Melancholy Moon) Jack Hertz: “Late Last Night We Played With The Moon”...
-
Ice Ice Baby
A large swath of the US is covered in dangerous ice and freezing rain this weekend. The ʞu¡0ɹʞS household has taken refuge outside the worst of it, but we know that some others of the RadioSpiral family are stuck in it. So today’s program is all about the ice, and we’re keeping good thoughts…
more -
In the Bleak
January and February tend to feel disproportionately long after the lights and anticipation of the winter holidays. But there is beauty in the bleakness, too — the quiet and stillness a good reminder that we can slow down for a while, and look inward. Today we feature a variety of artists from…
more -
Electric Bones
It’s an odd thing: the title of the live set for today came to me in a dream, with no other guidance. So I’m making today’s show about vibrancy, electricity, vitality, and joy. Bing Satellites: “Electricity” (The ambient world of Bing Satellites, volume one: 2008 – 2010) Broekhuis, Keller &...
-
Yuletide
The twelve nights of Yule begin around the solstice, which was last Sunday. These days are a liminal time when the veil between worlds is thin, and spirits, gods, and ancestors should be honored. It is also the time to welcome the return of the sun, who slowly wakes from his winter slumber. Our...
-
Winter Solstice
Today is the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. During these darkest days (and that has more than one meaning of late), it is easy to forget that the sun will return, that the light will come again. We’ll hear tracks from Edges of Solstice, a compilation created for Winter Solstice 2019...
-
Second Snow
We continue the theme of snow for this week’s I Scream Sunday, with lots more great tracks from the RadioSpiral library. George L. Smyth: “A Snowflake, A Cobweb” (Haiku Music Volume 5) Conni St. Pierre: “Snowfields” (Mountain Spirits) Spheric Lounge: “Snow” (Session 84 06.12.2007) Bing…
more -
First Snow
Snow has many characters, depending on humidity, temperature, wind, and so on. Light and fluffy, wet and heavy, cutting, comforting… Today we stand in the first snow of the season (yes, I know, it’s already snowed in many places)… Scott Lawlor: “Midnight Ice Crystals” (Reflections of Snow) Shane...
-
Unto the Stars
We’re looking to the stars on this edition of I Scream Sunday, hosted by ʞu¡0ɹʞS. Especially as the nights grow colder and the skies clearer, the stars feels as though they’re closer. Journey with us as we look outward. Phillip Wilkerson: “Among the Nebulae – Ambient Mix” (The Stars and…
more -
I Whisper Sunday: Horizons
Today’s I Scream Sunday will be I Whisper Sunday, as I, Whispering Cosmos, takes over the radio broadcast instead of Skro!nk as she cannot do her show. Leading with this beautiful view of the city where I grew up, Málaga, focusing on the horizon, that will be our theme for today. Gaze upon where...
-
Steel and Strength
Our lives constantly test us, and if we still breathe, we have passed the test. Existence is a beautiful balance of pain and joy, and having our mettle tested over and over again makes the joyful moments all the more precious. Today’s program explores strength in several forms: Cousin Silas:...
-
Into the Dark
The darkness closes in as Autumn advances and Winter approaches. We explore the descending darkness that happens both within and without. m00m: “Into the Dark” (Sun Rise) Alpha Wave Movement: “Dark Meridian” (Kinetic) Darkened Soul: “An Ominous Fall” (Seasons of Dark and Light) Cousin Silas…
more -
The Thinning Veil
The Veil is thin this time of year, and especially around the end of October and early November. We say goodbye to those we have lost, and honor all the ancestors who have gone before. Different Skies: “The Voices Behind the Veil” (Strange Lines and Distances) Michael Brückner: “My Veil of...
-
Autumn Light
The light in autumn is its own phenomenon: on crisp days or hazy, it takes on a golden hue. Reflecting from the changing leaves, and as an effect of the lengthening shadows, it feels… precious. Nature gives us this fleeting gift of gold before her grey cloak settles across the land for winter....
-
Focal Point
Focusing on a single point in space can help establish visual perspective; the same is true of mental perspective, and musical as well. Today we examine the centers of things — earth, movement, one’s own heart. Vir Unis & Saul Stokes: “Kinetic Center” (Thermal Transfer) SPACECRAFT: “Center of the...
-
Cats
Cats large and small are an endless source of fascination — and sometimes entertainment! (But don’t ever tell them that; they rarely have a sense of humor about themselves.) Today’s episode explores the cat: Endorphin: “Running Cats” (Red EP) QX#55: “Cats Could Catch Cough” (After Technic There…
more -
Circles
A circle can be a metaphor for many things. As a noun, “circle” can refer to one’s orbit of friends, or the planets, or protection; as a verb, it can be an embrace, a threat, or a comfort. Today we explore many different circles. Kit Watkins: “Circle of Rain” (Circle) Different Skies: “Circle for...
-
Autumn Equinox
Tomorrow is the Autumn Equinox in the northern hemisphere so, predictably, we’re doing a show about it. In the Southern Appalachians, the nights are cooling and the days are pleasant. The leaves are starting to turn and we’re trying to find our balance in a world gone crazy. The equinox is a...
-
Late Summer
Summer is winding down in the northern hemisphere. The days are warm and sultry with the tiniest hint of chill in the evenings; leaves are just starting to show peeks of gold and red, and the light is cast in a particular hue. This episode walks through these last few days and nights of summer…
more -
Journey
Yesterday’s Morning Cup of Calm was about the end of the road and what it might mean… the lessons one has learned, the memories made, the places and people one has met along the way. Today we look at the journey itself, and all it might bring us: the stars in the sky, the stops along the way, and...
-
The Voice of Mathias Grassow
We learned that Mathias Grassow passed away this week, so today’s episode is dedicated to his memory. “Ouverture – A turn of the century in 2 acts” ((2024) Now is all you have…..) “Part I” (The rose mixes in spiral times) (with Eyes Cast Down) “Golden Pavilion” ((2018-2020) In the eyes of…

Voices In the Night

-
Voices of Rhythm
The rhythm of a heartbeat, of the days, of the tides, of the seasons — rhythms are all around us, and in us even before birth. Slow or fast, we live in beats. Today we celebrate those beats. Let’s dance!
-
The Tapestry of Life
We are inextricably woven into life around us, both in the physical world, and in our relationship with it. Today we explore this idea through music. Daniel Robert Lahey: “Twilight Tapestry (thing_034)” (weather or not) SPACECRAFT: “Thread of Continuity” (Earthtime Tapestry) anantakara, featuring...
-
The Voice of the Desert
She howls, she hums, she whispers menacingly; she sings, she laughs, she quiets. The desert does what she cans to sustain life on her terms. This episode was inspired by a call that Aural Films put out for tracks about the desert. The desert landscape has been a popular theme in electronic music...
-
The Voices of Summer (Solstice)
This weekend we celebrate the Summer Solstice! The days are long, nights are warm, wildlife is active...and so are the tourists. We'll hear from a variety of RadioSpiral artists in the first part of today's program: Darkened Soul: "Sublime Summer" (Seasons of Dark and Light) George L Smyth…

Spiraling Voices

A Voice in the Silence
“Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.” - Hildegard von Bingen Music can help us achieve a kind of stillness that's elusive in the...
