CKMS Community Connections for 12 September 2022: The SOCAN Show

Show Notes

(an assortment of coins, Australian dollars of various denominations, dirty. Difficult to tell if this is a black&white image, or just monochromatic, boring coins)
filthy lucre

Nothing but music this week, so no podcast, no bonus footage, no image gallery. Just music. Two hours worth! And it’s our SOCAN ratings week, which means that any musicians played today will receive oodles of royalties (for extremely low values of “oodles”). To maximize this economic windfall for Waterloo Region, most of the music is KWCon.

Enjoy!

–Bob.

FROM THE VOID

If you are familiar with Into the Void – then you might be prepared for From the Void. I will push the boundaries and conventions of radio every Tuesday night. While preparing for this show I realized that this isn’t going to just be a show about Experimental music, it’s going to be experimental radio. You won’t know what has been pre recorded or is happening live. You won’t know if it is original or if it’s a top 40 band. You won’t know if you are getting older or getting younger. Time doesn’t exist, sound is subjective and taste isn’t even a consideration. The best part about sounds from the void is you won’t be able to hear it…unless you are already in the void.

show logoFrom The Void is Experimental Music — soundscapes and audio experiments to lose your mind to.

The Void (*Archives) airs from the Radio Waterloo archives alternate Saturdays 3:00am to 4:00am, including both From The Void and Into The Void.

CKMS Community Connections for 18 May 2020

Chris Sherren at the microphone
Chris Sherren
Today is Victoria Day, a statutory holiday in Canada, and a day when Chris Sherren who fronts Deaf By Design would have been available for a Live, On-Air, In-Studio performance and interview. But we’re still in the middle of the Covid pandemic, and the studio is still closed. So there’s only recorded music today, and we start off with a few tracks by Chris.

Be sure to check out Chris’s show Into The Void, which airs Fridays from 10:00pm to 11:00pm, with a replay on Sundays at 6:30pm.

And we have Canadian Content music at two extremes of the genre spectrum: Technical Death Metal, Black Metal, Progressive Death Metal, and Alternative Metal, all followed by Alternative Rock, Synth Rock, and maybe some Folk.

There have been no podcasts for the CKMS Community Connections music shows; podcasts will resume once we have guests back in the studio.
