Artist	Track	Album	Label	Comments	Special
Set 1: experimentally quiet. (Listen to this set: Real)
Stephen Vitiello	4 (track 4) (Listen: Real)	Listening To Donald Judd	Sub Rosa	Fairly spare & quiet, high tone -> almost sounds like an electronic bird.
Phill Niblock	Alto Tune (CD 3, track 2) (Listen: Real)	Touch Three	Touch	Treated alto sax, graaadually building softly harmonic tone, gradually shifting, some deeper alto sax tones come in under & piece becomes close to transcendent at times.	***
Tom Recchion	Underwater Girls (track 6) (Listen: Real)	Sweetly Doing Nothing	Schoolmap	Mysterious & avanty (whatever that means, exactly), warm, orchestral, nice at low volume, it builds gradually and gently, relaxing.
Nadja	Thaumogenesis (track 1) (Listen: Real)	Thaumogenesis	Archive	We hear the last 13:50 of this 1 hour-long track. The excerpt we hear starts very nice & quiet, and gradually builds to a crescendo.

Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Real)
Biosphere	Moistened And Dried (track 8)	Cirque	Touch	Very quiet & airy, kind of like being at the bottom of a well.	***

Set 2: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Real)
Mystery In The Air	The Black Cat	(No album)	(No label)	Mystery In The Air...a 1947 summer replacement series of only 8 episodes, all of which survive. It offered dramatizations of stories from World Literature, and all starred Peter Lorre. Shows were of exceptionally high quality, and often had something of a dark and hallucinatory feel. This episode: Peter Lorre obsesses over, yes, a black cat ("that beast - it's come back to haunt me!!!"), a dead wife, and has a bunch of mad moments, including yet another fine mad scene at the end. And it was all done live. Originally aired September 18, 1947.	***

Biosphere	Moistened And Dried (track 8)	Cirque	Touch	Very quiet & airy, kind of like being at the bottom of a well.	***

Set 3. (Listen to this set: Real)
en O)))	Another Grimm World (track 1)	Another Grimm World	RSM	Deep throbbing like you're in the bowels of a ship, dark, hits a steady pace for the long haul, gets deeper as it winds down during the last 7 minutes, loud end.

Set 4: quiet, floaty and sentimental. (Listen to this set: Real)
MGR	III (track 3) (Listen: Real)	Nova Lux	Neurot Recordings	Warm, spacey underneath, sort of floaty, ambient, low key & spare guitar, sentimental feel.	***
Biosphere	Too Fragile To Walk On (track 11) (Listen: Real)	Cirque	Touch	Quiet and sentimental, almost like a ballad for them.	***
Julee Cruise	The World Spins (track 10) (Listen: Real)	Floating Into The Night	Warner Brothers	Floaty, delicate, and sentimental.
Sally Timms	Sweetheart Waltz (track 6) (Listen: Real)	Cowboy Sally's Twilight Laments For Lost Buckaroos	Bloodshot	Floaty, soft, highly romantic.	***
Re:	Straint (track 5) (Listen: Real)	Mnant	Constellation	Soft and warm, ballad, quiet end.
Roy Montgomery	On The Road 2 (CD 1, track 6) (Listen: Real)	Inroads: New And Collected Works	Rebis	Sunny, bit of a western and spacious feel.
