A weekly roundup of Bandcamp and Soundcloud cuts curated by @aidanhanratty. House/techno/ambient/drone etc. 

Content never sleeps.

The primary objective of the Choral Music Program at KCKCC is to educate the students and the community about vocal ensemble music through stylistic variety and tonal diversity, based on historical precedent. This objective is achieved by exposing choir members to music of different nationalities and/or cultures and their commitment to recreate a unique tone quality that identifies with the cultural environment of each composition.
 
The KCKCC Vocal Jazz Program takes pride in performing professional-level vocal jazz ensemble literature. The music within today’s program represents a crossover of the jazz and popular music idioms. The students in the Vocal Jazz program learn Jazz Education through a variety of methods. First of all, several of the students take private vocal jazz coachings 
weekly. They also perform music by professional vocal ensembles, arrangements by well-known vocal jazz educators, and learn jazz and popular music standards (both through the ensemble and within the private coachings). Lastly, 2/3 of the vocalists in our program are on full-tuition vocal music scholarship from the college (where they can be any major, but must participate in choir and applied voice).

Walk them with us.

There they stood, ranged along the hill-sides, met
To view the last of me, a living frame
For one more picture! in a sheet of flame
I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew. ``Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.''

Where numbers measure worth
Sometimes it hurts
But spinnin bass is never work

I write using hardware rather than software as this is my preference. I write tracks and post them. I try to be unique.  All comments and feedback are appreciated.
