Adventures in Time Travel

DJ sonichronologist brings you the music of the future of the past: we'll explore recent art music (1960s–the future) in an attempt to understand the common themes of the tonal/atonal divide, to approach the fulcrum between the planned and the spontaneous, and to experiencetemporal structures and cerebral textures, thereby finding sonic bliss in the present.
