this music is so narrative it's almost visual art. or maybe more of a radio play. whatever the case, really fascinating. maybe it's the woodwinds, or the namesake, but these pieces make me really nostalgic for my red cassette tape of peter & the wolf from my childhood

If I donate $75 for that grand prize am I able to split that among 7 djs or does it have to be pledged solely to OoD? It feels kinda scrooge-ish to split it up but I can only afford 1 donation of that size and wanna spread the love

Absolutely no ill will either way and I’ll be donating that amount before the end of the night regardless

"The Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra was created in 1971 by an “old hand” of French free jazz, François Tusques. Bernard Vitet on trumpet, Danièle Dumas and Sylvain Kassap on saxophones, Jean-Louis Le Vallegant and Philippe Le Strat on… bombards. With hints of modal jazz inspired by Coltrane or Pharoah Sanders, the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra is an ecumenical project which speaks to the whole world."
