Electric Sense
All sorts of unusual. Electronic, experimental, improvised, modern orchestral/chamber composition, sound poetry, whatever else falls into weird. Mostly from the last few years with occasional trips down memory lane. Host: James Bailey James Bailey has been hosting Electric Sense since its inception on CIUT in July of 2014. Much of the material comes from his many contacts in the Toronto improvising, experimental, and New Music scenes, as well as others across the country and around the world. A fresh adventure every week.
