The Edges of Dreaming
Latest Episodes
Explorers
In Second Life this weekend, we’re approaching the final days of SciFi Con. In honor of this excellent and worthy festival, we decided to postpone the “insects” challenge a week. Today, then, we are “Explorers”, and sail through the outer reaches with wor
The Final Frontier
Today’s episode of The Edges of Dreaming takes us on a flyby of Pluto, in honor of Sci-Fi Con in Second Life. Join us in our RadioSpiral flying saucer for some great space music! All of today’s music is taken from a single (huge) compilation that was cre
Elettronica Sperimentali
On this edition of The Edges of Dreaming, we feature a single artist, Toronto-based Elettronica Sperimentale, aka Steve Castellano. His specialty is modular synthesizers, and his music runs the gamut from experimental noise to drifty lullabies, and everyt

Mountain III
Spring is coming to Appalachia, and Mr. Copland had the right of it: there is nothing like it in the world. This is home. I’d forgotten how much I miss springs like this — the trees are in flower, the daffodowndillies are poking up their cheerful little h
Mountain II
A few weeks ago, I put out a request for mountain tracks for At Water’s Edge. I thought I’d do “a show” to celebrate our new home in the mountains of western North Carolina. So many artists responded with tracks that it turned into a three part series. Th
Something Fishy
This edition of At Water’s Edge brings us another challenge episode, and it’s a good one! “Fish” was the challenge wherein artists were to create a track using an unusual scale (you know, fish? Scales?), and make it about being underwater. The results we
Mountain I
Last week, I put out a request on Facebook for tracks about mountains. So many artists responded that the original idea became a three part series. The reason for the request is that I wanted to get your help celebrating the move to our forever home in t
