VOCAVERSE ON AIR!
VOCAVERSE is WNYU's one and only vocal synth-focused show! You can listen to it on wnyu.org and 89.1FM in the NY metro area every Friday from 11:30PM - 1:00AM EST! You can find archives of previous shows below...
Additionally, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about VOCAVERSE, or have music of your own you want to submit, contact me on my WNYU email : [email protected]
My primary goal of this show is to raise the voices of independent artists and musicians who work with vocal synths and their designs - visually or musically. As a program that allows everyone to have a voice, I believe music and art made with and inspired by vocal synths is wonderful, especially as it is very much a self sustaining and supportive community. I want to continue that support with VOCAVERSE!
