music to make you move!

Tune in whupfm.org Sunday 3-5pm!!! Squiggle Time explores the psychedelic nature of existence: loops, spirals, contradictions, unexpected turns, and the understanding that nothing is linear and everything is connected. Part sonic collage, part mindfulness practice, Squiggle Time is a metaphorical, physical, spiritual, emotional, and mindful act of existing within the present moment through the art of noticing. The guiding mantra of Squiggle Time is: creation without expectation.

New voices, fresh sounds, and exciting new shows are coming soon to 104.7 WHUP FM! 📻 Stay tuned and tune in — streaming live 24/7 at WHUPFM.org. Your community radio is just getting started. 🎙️

For this spring Fund‑a‑thon, Marginal Consort plunges into the vast discography of Masami Akita—better known as Merzbow—one of the most influential figures in the history of noise and experimental sound. Over the last four decades, Akita has not only helped define Japanese noise, but has profoundly shaped underground music worldwide, influencing generations of artists across industrial, electronic, metal, improvisation, and sound art scenes.

This special edition traces key progressions and shifts in the Merzbow universe—from early tape-based extremity to later digital overloads and collaborations—while unpacking how his work challenged ideas of composition and listening itself. Merzbow’s uncompromising approach opened space for noise as a serious artistic practice, inspiring countless artists to embrace texture, abrasion, and volume as transformative expression.

Tune in on 5/1 at 10p EST at whupfm.org for sustained immersion—and if the sounds transform you, consider supporting the station that makes programming like this possible. Your Fund‑a‑thon dollars help keep the margins gloriously unfiltered.
