Relay Station Episodes

  • Episode 05.45 // Season Five finale: a few of my favorite things

    In today's program we'll be celebrating the solstice and the coming holiday season with gratitude and a modest glimpse into some of my favorite ambient artists, albums, and compositions from this past year — looking back on some of the pieces and the composers that have left their mark on my life over the course of season five of The Relay Station. I'd be remiss to say this is a complete list, for to include ALL of the artists and compositions that were influential and noteworthy would render us a set list that would require several programs to complete. So let's wrap up season five with a heart of gratitude and check out music from Ocoeur, Rotating Tapes, Oberlin, City of Dawn, Gollden, and many, many more....
