Airplay is...

Airplay is more than a show, it's an institution. Join the Airplay gang every week as they open the flood gates and let the music pour in. Airplay specializes in live in-studio performances by the best and brightest. Search the performance database if you don't believe us. Three parts freaky and two parts fresh, Airplay licks it where most shows only lightly kiss.

Featured Performance

Michael Vallera Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Minimalist drone-based performance for solo guitar and electronics. Vallera is a Chicago based visual artist and musician and this performance is the very essence of studied, deliberate sound manipulation. He takes what could be a huge, overbearing noise track and cultivates it carefully and patiently over a full performance so the end result is minimal and carefully proportioned. Bonsai-music.
