Sound and VisionAs of June 1, 2007, this page will no longer be updated. Please visit our new site to access newly added programs. Sound and Vision hopes that the blindness of radio and the muteness of artworks can be productively joined when artists play the music they care about. Host artist/writer and occasional musician David Humphrey will invite different artist guests to select material for each show with the faith that their playlists will reflect the vitality of their practice. |
