Scotchamo - "Station to Stereo"
Performed before a LIVE audience from the WXOX ARTxFM Performance Studio - broadcasted and streamed world-wide
Friday, March 29, 2024
On March 29 (Good Friday), Scotchamo performed his latest conceptual, improvisational musical/sound collage, "Station to Stereo", a 14 (+/-) movement piece that found inspiration from David Bowie's "Station to Station" song/album, the Stations of the Cross as a religion story, the magic of radio waves, and cosmic space travel.
