Audiosyncracy
Sunday 11pm
Audiosyncracy is an innovative, one-hour program of unusual music, hosted live each Sunday at 11:00pm by Jamey Osborne. The show features new music from artists in the contemporary acoustic domain, though pegging the music into a specific term is difficult. Called "new age" by some, the music is vibrant and diverse, ranging from solo piano and guitar to exotic instrumentations, arrangements and styles from independent artists and labels from around the world. Independent musicians provide about 90% of the music heard on the program. Audiosyncracy reports monthly to the
New Age Reporter.
The show features an annual "best of" program at the end of every year, honoring subjective picks of outstanding releases from the previous year. There is also an "Essential Audiosyncracy Collection," a starter's guide to collecting the "must have" CDs in the genre.
