If you like your music kind of out there – and come on, who doesn’t? – tune in right now to 91.1 FM for Bethany Ryker’s Stochastic Hit Parade, which airs every Sunday night on WFMU from 9p-12a. Think: Stockhausen, Xenakis, Theo Bleckmann and a whole boatload of transcendent ear candy neither you nor I have ever heard of before. Bethany has also been known to indulge in aleatory on-air experiments: a few weeks ago, she solicited live audio samples from her listeners – everything from electric can openers to TV white noise – which she then combined into a five minute collage and played on-air. Personally, I can’t think of a weirder, more wonderful way to end the weekend.

I didn’t see this until this morning (Monday), but this is something I will definitely tune in to.

Wow, this sounds excellent, I’m going to definitely check this out. I loved their short attention span project where people took songs or even albums and the audience made them one minute long and played an hour of them.
