KVRU 105.7 FM REBOOTS HYPERLOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD RADIO

Seattle, WA—KVRU 105.7 FM has been a community arts & culture project of Southeast Effective Development (SEED) under their SEEDArts programs with Rainier Arts Center (RAC) and Columbia City Arts Gallery for over 5 years. As the radio station approaches its 6th Anniversary in October, they are reimagining the radio station into a community education hub that provides pathways to opportunities in media and technology education and career fields. Join them for their hybrid open house event on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in person in their studios at 3642 33rd Ave Suite c-5, Seattle, WA 98144 or online by RSVPing at https://bit.ly/KVRUReboot and acquiring their online attendance link.

Through community effort and grassroots media justice organizing many low power FM radio stations popped up in the Northwest region and beyond. The organizing reminded citizens that the radio and other forms of media were owned by a few corporations, as they protested the FCC, and pushed for communities to take media creation in their hands through ownership. Many years later, KVRU 105.7 LPFM can still be heard in South Seattle and beyond streaming at www.kvru.org. Sprinkled throughout you hear familiar accents, languages, and voices distinct to the diversity of the 98118-zip code. Any day, you can hear your neighbor being interviewed or interviewing someone along with multilingual Public Service Announcements (PSAs). There are conversations about art and culture and of course music! The range is from “Silver Fork Mixed Tape” classics to “Afrobeats “to “Spanish Castle Magic” brings soft tunes and hard beats.

The community at large is invited to come to the launch of the “Radio Reboot” Campaign and Open House of this beloved small neighborhood community that is providing multiple opportunities for youth, young adults, elders, and many marginalized community members. The Open House will consist of tours of the revamped recording and broadcasting studios for in-kind trade and rent from 6:00 pm to 6:30pm and 7:00pm to 8:00 pm on a rotating basis. There will be a formal presentation and Q&A session from 6:30pm to 7:00 pm to discuss the new structures in place that will support more media and technology access, volunteer and learning opportunities. Throughout the 2-hour open house, attendees are invited to comment and reaffirm or reset the founding values and goals set forth by the community in 2017 through interactive information stations. Help this hyperlocal and participatory radio reset and realign!

The station has been transformed by the Pandemic and is now asking for intentional feedback on lessons learned. This will be the first formal event the station is throwing since the Pandemic. Overall, KVRU is reimagining itself and asking the community to envision with them and help them build for 5 more years through funding, foundational values building, and mission check-in.

Luzviminda Uzuri “Lu” Carpenter, the Radio Station Manager states, “we are gathering the community and its stakeholders to be transparent about our successes and challenges and putting our collective brains together to imagine the sustainability and reset the foundation of the station. I started running the station in the middle of a pandemic and it has been a struggle, but we have pushed through with awesome interns and supporters, and we are ready to open our doors, safely of course.”

KVRU is pushing forward and asking for feedback and ideas, so attend with curiosity and wonder at how you can be involved in small and big ways.

We're delighted to be included in The WIRE's new list of "100 essential stations and programmes", the only station in the Northwest to be so honored! Dave Segal writes: "Since 2007, Hollow Earth Radio has been a paragon of freeform online radio on 104.9 FM in Seattle, sonically and politically centring the marginalised. Now also airing on the Low Power FM dial as KHUH, the station hasn’t diminished its adventurousness and whimsicality. As I type, the playlist includes tracks by James Blood Ulmer, Brooklyn Raga Massive, Michael Rother and Mulatu Astatke.”

After 11 years in the at Union b/w 20th & 21st, Hollow Earth Radio (HER) is moving & in search of a new home. Since 2007, HER has been & the ’s freeform, DIY, non-commercial 24/7 radio station examining the unknown & periphery of music, culture, & audio not often heard on the traditional radio dial.

Transitioning from a morning to an evening slot on Hollow Earth Radio a while back has been a breath of fresh air for me/my show as I no longer have to manage tracks while simultaneously doing my day job from my home office, so I can really focus on the show and see where the music takes me. I started recording the sets - here’s one from back in May with some synth heroes and local legends. Recommended for a drive or with headphones. Hope you enjoy.

Slow Music Meltdown Mondays 7-8pm PST

KHUH 104.9FM Seattle
Tyshawn Sorey and Sebastian Fagerlund occupy the spotlight in the latest edition of Radio Eclectus. Sorey channels the sparseness of Feldman and the conductions of "Butch" Morris in his new album with Alarm Will Sound, while Fagerlund pursues his style of postmodern impressionism on two new BIS records featuring chamber music and a new cello concerto.

Also on tap are first recordings by old masters Christian Wolff, Pierre Henry and John Zorn. Nancy Bigfoot debuts an avant-rock sound, Bo Holten debuts an opera about Martin Luther, and Cecilia Lopez merges sound installation and live improv with her namesake Brandon Lopez. KMRU and Oliver Leith offer short tracks that are obsessive in their own gripping way, while RN White offers compassionate noise music and Bidisha Das introduces Unexplained Sounds’ new survey of exploratory music from India. Radical new music from the Northwest and beyond with host Michael Schell.

Tonight, Radio Eclectus is excited to present new albums by Éliane Radigue and Phill Niblock, two giants from the founding generation of drone minimalism. We’ll also send our 95th birthday wishes to Betsy Jolas with help from Cum Jubilo and Melia Watras, and we’ll sample Xiaogang Ye’s new companion piece to Mahler’s Song of the Earth that sets the same poems in the original Chinese.

Plus, we’ll examine two remarkable cases of musical reclamation: Bernard Parmegiani’s Stries trilogy for analog synthesizers and tape, newly reconstructed and recorded on Mode Records by Lange//Berweck//Lorenz, and a pre-percussion 1943 version of Harry Partch’s U.S. Highball, recovered from the only known Vinylite transfer by Philip Blackburn and released digitally for the first time by Neuma. We’ll hear some modern music for a medieval organ, and preview Seattle Phonographers Union’s upcoming concert. Finally, we’ll survey new improvisational blends of avant-rock, noise, loop and Middle Eastern music from KARKHANA, Endlings and The Flying Luttenbachers. Radical new music from the Northwest and beyond with host Michael Schell.

Thursday, August 5, 9pm–Midnight Pacific Time (UTC -7) on Hollow Earth Radio: KHUH 104.9 in Central Seattle, HollowEarthRadio.org everywhere else, and "play Hollow Earth Radio on TuneIn" with your smart speaker. Available on demand at Mixcloud starting Friday.
