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.

Label Launch


Last Thursday night's gig at the Bakery was a chance to see some performers I have not seen in a long while, including Steve Matzkov, with his drifting, swirling guitar drones, and Stina Thomas, with her delicate exquisite keyboard miniatures, including works for a pedal harmonium. Dominic Perisonotto eat your heart out! Chris Cobilis never ceases to surprise - he's brought vocals to centre stage in his solo act, moving away from soundscapes towards songs.
The purpose of the evening was the launch of Predrag Delibasich's vinyl album, "Bassta! Pex/Gutter Guitar", and a three-way split CD of Pex, Stina and Chris, both out on the new Heartless Robot label. All the 100 unique covers of Predrag's album were on display, and many sold on the night. The exhibition has been taken down now, but there may be a few copies left. If you want to own this LP, drop Predrag a line at predrag@iinet.net.au. CD is also available from the Heartless Robot site. Check out the restream from last week's Difficult Listening to hear some of it.
