Difficult Listening goes to air at 9.00 pm WST every Sunday evening on RTR FM 92.1 in Perth, Western Australia. It is also streamed over the RTR FM web site. Links to restreams and play lists are available at the Difficult Listening web site.

The program covers a variety of genres that all push the boundaries of musicality, in areas as diverse as contemporary chamber music, noise, dark ambient, impro, free jazz, musique concrete, spoken word and electronica.

The program has been running since 1989. Its founder and coordinator is Bryce Moore, who has been with the show since its inception, ably assisted by a series of co-presenters, most recently Rosalind Appleby.

The Ambassador From Everywhere 2

Here's an interesting gig being put on by the folks at Meupe:

ii (MELB)

ii is the preserve of Alex Nosek and Jon Tjhia, collaborators of over seven years and three bands. Having established themselves with their experimental guitar tactics and largely improvised, dismantled pop, ii's current methodology adds modular synth processing, rudimentary electronics, computer manipulation and field recording to create full, tactile sound worlds.

Joining ii will be very special guest Dave Miller of Pivot (Warp), M. Rösner (Apestaarje, room40), Adam Trainer, At Waugh With Gieles and Meupe's own Traianos Pakioufakis (DJ set). Just like aesoteric old times at the Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley.

Sunday August 10
Velvet Lounge, Mt Lawley
6pm / $10

Should be able to get to this one since it's in my neck of the woods. I'll be able to go straight across the road to RTR and talk about it on air.
