Join Captain Phil we explore the amazing Refractor Piano with composer Peter Manning Robinson and his new album Double Helix! This Thursday starting at 3 pm!

Then welcome back long-time guest Camdr Roy to talk about his on-line streaming show, Roy's Dye-Tie Dci-fi corner (https://www.facebook.com/roystiedyescificorner), and his upcoming episode featuring Star Trek Alum Michael Forrest!

Peter Manning Robinson (http://www.petermanningrobinson.com/) is a pianist, an Emmy and multiple BMI award-winning composer, inventor of The Refractor Piano™ and vegan chef. Performing live with his newly created Refractor Piano™, Peter plays a new style of music called “Refracted Music”. Without prerecorded tracks, triggered samples, external sounds or MIDI instruments, he creates a unique new music using only an acoustic piano that is “refracted” during his live performances. Peter’s foundations in classical structure and jazz improvisation induce a transcendent musical experience.

Peter Manning Robinson was born in Chicago and grew up in Vancouver, Canada, and Los Angeles,

New Music Thursday PLUS Jack Licitra!

Days Between Stations
https://www.daysbetweenstations.com/
Days Between Stations are Oscar Fuentes Bills and Sepand Samzadeh.
In fall 2003, Sepand Samzadeh placed an ad in a local magazine and Oscar Fuentes responded. The two began composing music and Fuentes suggested a very fitting name for the band, Days Between Stations –the name of a novel Fuentes had read by Steve Erikson.
In 2004, Fuentes and Samzadeh sent Bruce Soord, leader of the British band The Pineapple Thief, a CD with nearly an hour’s worth of mostly improvised material. Soord used some of this material as the basis for the song “Saturday” on The Pineapple Thief’s 12 Stories Down (Cyclops 2004).
