Tune in Sunday 2-3 pm
For the second installment in our survey of Hungarian experimental music, Broken Music turns to composer Zoltán Jeney. Another founding member of the Budapest New Music Studio, Jeney utilized unusual decision making process in his compositions and wrote for a number of unorthodox arrangements of instruments. His works are some of the most strange and adventurous among the Hungaroton catalog at the time.
Tune in Sunday from 2-3 pm.
This Thursday join Howard Hoyt for part seven in his series on underground radio of the 60s and 70s, when AM was king and FM was counterculture. Covering singer/songwriter, rock and jazz genres, this show returns to and revels in the days of alt radio. Nine to midnight on WXYC.
"WXYC has been inhabiting the annex of the Carolina Union for quite some time now, and until this summer we had quite the collection of memorabilia hanging from our walls. Unfortunately the time came for them to be taken down after a few decades in order to get our facilities up to code. However, we want to make sure that these posters and knick-knacks are not lost or forgotten. Many of these posters are pieces of a local history in Chapel Hill and its surrounding areas; and all are in some way a part of the history at WXYC."
