This program presents cutting-edge music by composers who have emerged from (or rebelled against) the Classical tradition over the last century. The focus is on iconoclasts and innovators; those whom the mainstream media, including Classical radio, typically neglect. The emphasis is on the most recent decades, but some programs feature the musical pioneers who cleared the paths for those who followed. Comments or suggestions are welcome. Contact Imaginary Landscapes.
Rick also co-hosts The Cutting Edge, a program of adventurous jazz and improvised music.
