happy new year!
nonplussed radio is a grand rapids-based internet radio show born out of the early days of the covid-19 pandemic. each episode is 2 hours, giving me plenty of time to share a wide range of expansive and unique music from across the world. for my 1 hour set at backwards compatible, i wanted to highlight some of my favorite releases of 2025, as well as present an honest reflection of what the radio show is about. i chose lots of quiet music and played many short excerpts from much longer pieces. i also experimented a little more with playing multiple things together (Foresteppe + Eylül Deniz), which was a lot of fun! i'm happy with how this mix turned out, it's just as warm and cozy as i'd hoped. the Lawalree/Woldman mashup is by Jack Rollo. showcard image is Matsu ni yukidaruma (Snowman under a Pine) by Katei Hōjō, 18th century. https://www.mixcloud.com/nonplussedradio/
Shelf Selects is 99% unreleased tracks. My hope is that a listener will enjoy these works as much as I have over the years. As I get further away from the creation of these tracks, the processes that spawned them become more mysterious to me, which gives me the opportunity to be somewhere in between the audience and the DAW.
