Vinyl set recorded live from Backwards Compatible in Grand Rapids on Saturday, December 6th 2025

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/

Hello stranger, goodbye friend.

This set marked the beginning of the Midwest Radio Exchange Program. Recorded live on November 15th, 2025 at Moondog Cafe in Detroit, streamed live on Bluemoonradio.live. I had a great time waking up the cafe, and putting people on to some new music unreleased by friends.
