This week as I was assembling TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #480) I received notice that a dear friend and WKSU-FM ‘Fresh Air’ radio alumni, Lois Wootton, had passed away due to complications from a recent surgery. All of us who knew her were stunned by this news, and my heart goes out to her husband Jeff, their daughters, and their entire family. Lois was an integral part of our college radio team at Kent State in the 1970’s. She and her husband Jeff first met there and have remained lifelong friends of mine, and their musical passion from those days has continued for over four decades. I am forever grateful for being part of their extended family and will miss her dearly.
During the final hour on the show today, I’ll devote the time to playing music that she loved, artists that she turned me on to, and even play excerpts from a ‘Fresh Air’ program from an early morning in June of 1981, where Lois and I actually substituted for Jeff, on what was to be his final show as a program host. Among the artists she selected that day were KRAFTWERK, NICO, and ROBERT WYATT. I, in turn, will play some of her all time favorites including LAURIE ANDERSON, DAEVID ALLEN, PATTI SMITH, BRIAN ENO, and IMOGEN HEAP.
The first two hours today will contain my usual eclectic selections from new releases (THOM YORKE, THE MOUNTAIN GOATS), to ‘vault’ goodies (JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, PEARLS BEFORE SWINE), and there’s even a set where I’ll weave music from KEN NORDINE, WENDY CARLOS, DEAD CAN DANCE, and others into the epic YES piece ‘Close To The Edge.’

This week on TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES I’ve decided to celebrate over 45 years of radio with three separate archive gems from my days at WKSU-FM and it’s legendary late night progressive radio program Fresh Air which I was a weekly host on from 1976-1981.
The first is a one hour segment captured on August 22, 1977 of an early version of the program’s ‘Artist Of The Week’ feature focusing on the band GENTLE GIANT. This is the oldest recording of any of my shows at WKSU.
The remaining two and a half hours contain two more shows, the second hour is from March 31, 1980 of what was the “Domestic Album Premiere’ of the band D’OA as well as the programming prior to the feature.
The final hour and a half segment contains a program segment from one of my final recorded broadcasts on ‘Fresh Air,’ before my graduation from KSU and subsequent move to Chicago that fall. That program aired on July 2, 1981 and ends at 4:30 am prior to the start of NPR’s ‘Morning Edition.’
I joined the WKSU-FM staff in the fall of 1976 as a studio engineer, program host, and publication assistant for their program guide. As with many college radio stations, there was a continuous turnover of the student personnel which the station used to oversee the network programming of both recorded and live feeds (we were the NPR affiliate), certain prerecorded classical, jazz, folk, blues, and public service programs hosted by local volunteers and a small full-time staff.
By early 1977, infused with a slew of new hosts for ‘Fresh Air,’ the staff brainstormed about ways of getting the show out to a wider audience. What made the show unique was it’s ‘underground/freeform’ roots, an eclectic mix artists and genres, plenty of imported albums, sprinkled in with comedy pieces and spoken word all serving as an alternative to what had become commercial AOR radio.
It was all about educating the audience about who we were playing and to do this we began the ‘Artist Of The Week’ special which eventually would air five nights a week. An ‘Import Album Premiere,’ Industrial Wasteland’ Interview program, ‘Domestic Album Premiere’ and ‘Reel Live Music’ shows all would follow and help build listener-ship over the next four years.
Today’s program covers three different shows within the Fresh Air program.

Sheesh! Another week has already flown by and we’ve nearly reached the midpoint of yet another month so it’s time to describe what’s in store on this edition of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #478).
I had a hankering for some music with sitar in it as I began assembling the show so I’ll start off with some vintage OREGON (Colin Walcott using it) and include COLIN JOHN (on electric sitar), the WEST COAST POP ART EXPERIMENTAL BAND, and OKKO BEKKER (covering The Beatles) and incorporate other music from RHIANNON GIDDENS & DANIEL LANOIS, THE CLAYPOOL LENNON DELIRIUM, and THE FLAMING LIPS to round everything out.
From there on out it’s ‘expect the unexpected’ with new music from KENDRICK LAMAR, OUTRONAUT, THE SMILE, and DAVID BOWIE, ‘covers’ from SUDAN ARCHIVES (Yoko Ono), TURTLE ISLAND STRING QUARTET (Jimi Hendrix), and MIKE BATT (Dueling Banjos on Moog synthesizer), and ‘vault’ treasures from HOT TUNA, EUGENIO FINARDI, JOHN GREAVES (Kew Rhone), and BO HANSSON.
In addition to all that there’s international cuts from HABIB KOITE, and CHLOPCY KONTRA BASIA, local fair from THE BEYONDERERS and PERE UBU, and other great pieces from IMOGEN HEAP, BELA FLECK, and LAURIE ANDERSON (the later channeling Dolly Parton).

This week’s first set on TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #477) took it’s inspiration from a cartoon character’s fictional birthday, the passing of a groundbreaking television actress, and a new concert announcement that will feature Ohio bred musicians raising money for veterans.
The program begins with HOYT CURTIN 'Jetsons Theme,’ celebrating George Jetsons birthday (7/31/2022) and is followed by several ‘Star Trek’ inspired pieces by SPIRIT, in honor of the legacy of Nichelle Nichols, Lieutenant Uhuru of that famous TV series, who passed away several days ago. DAVID BYRNE & YO LA TENGO ‘cover’ Yoko Ono and members of the MONKS OF DOOM ‘cover’ John Fahey before THE BREEDERS (one of the four Ohio bands appearing in concert) play ‘Space Woman’ followed by NINE INCH NAILS, THE JAMES GANG, and THE BLACK KEYS.
It was lots of fun assembling that first set but even more rewarding putting together the remaining two and a half hours. In it there’s new tracks from DAVID BOWIE, NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS, NDUDUZO MAKHATHINI, THE SMILE, and FLORA PURIM, ‘vault’ tidbits from NICHOLAS GREENWOOD (his rare ‘Cold Cuts’ LP), ALICE COOPER (School’s Out), POPUL VUH (Aguirre), BOB DYLAN (Greatest Hits, Vol, II), and ROXY MUSIC (Manifesto).
There’s also JOHN ZORN (covering Ennio Morricone) and RICKIE LEE JONES (covering Steely Dan), SUN RA & HIS ARKESTRA with SALAH RAGAB (In Egypt), and a seldom heard piece from HARRY PARTCH.

Every week I complete an exercise in prose in an attempt to entice you into tuning in to my latest broadcast and like previous attempts, this week is no different. I’ve assembled another new TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #476) for you so why should you listen to it? Here are two artists that I’ll just throw out there, each beginning a set during the first hour, that may likely have a bearing on your decision to listen to this show: JONI MITCHELL and IGGY AND THE STOOGES.
My work is done here. Boy, that got right to the point now didn’t it? Then suddenly, that lingering question creeps into the back of my brain. ‘What if?’ What if ‘they’ aren’t a fan of one or both. ‘Not possible’ says another voice in my head. (So he’s hearing ‘voices’ now huh? Better get help there Paulie!) Just to be on the safe side (and to get all the voices up there to stop arguing with each other) here’s a few more artists you’ll hear music from:
JOHN CALE, DJ KOZE, PETER GABRIEL HUUN-HUUR-TU, and TUNE-YARDS all surround Iggy & The Stooges, then there’s a loosely based theme in the third set with CALEXICO, THE BYRDS, SUPERSISTER, PEANUT BUTTER CONSPIRACY, and the latest from NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE.
Need a few more ‘references?’ DEVO, BRIAN ENO, HAL WILLNER, ARTHUR BUCK (Joseph and Peter), and DAVID PARSONS, and more new tracks from SHANE CURRY, MARK ALLENDER, and the NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS.

On this extra special 'rewind' edition of Transmusic Airwaves I'm extracting from my archives the long hidden very first 'Character Study,' that of legendary artist Kevin Ayers, which debuted on Episode #3 on March 8, 2013, three weeks after his passing. Now after nearly a decade, it is available once again for your enjoyment. Below is the synopsis and playlist from this program. Enjoy!
Today on the 3rd installment of Transmusic Airwaves and I’ll be DEBUTING a new segment within the show called “Character Study,” a monthly feature that devotes two hours to an artist or band that has made significant contributions to the world of modern music.
In today’s premiere, a look at the life and music of legendary songwriter KEVIN AYERS. Ayers who was a cornerstone in the British Psychedelic movement and it’s progressive offshoot, “The Canterbury Scene,” was a gifted modern troubadour, who passed away on February 18, 2013.
This feature will include music from his work in the groundbreaking bands Wildeflowers and Soft Machine, his rather sizable solo output (including rare live recordings from his numerous BBC sessions, hard to get studio recordings, and other goodies), and will be interspersed with biographical information about his life. This “Character Study” will be aired in the final two hours of today’s show.
In the first hour today, new songs from the Animal Collective, Eels, Pere Ubu, and a special airing of the limited release from tUnEyArDs; their latest offering, a collaboration with Yoko Ono from an MP3 download.

Each week as I prepare to get going on another upcoming show, a new release, movie or TV show, event, or person can serve as an inspiration to get the creative juices flowing and on this week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #475 ) it was a combination of those elements that played out. Upon learning of the passing of Monty Newman, the composer of perhaps the world’s most recognizable spy movie theme (James Bond) I decided to incorporate that theme with other spy music themes interpreted by a variety of artists during today’s first set.
The program begins with the new offering by THE SMILE (featuring members of Radiohead), then tracks by MODEST MOUSE and SLAPP HAPPY, before transitioning into Bond-like themes from PROPELLERHEADS, BOB CRANE & HIS ORCHESTRA (Get Smart), THE SURF CHAMPLERS (Bond), ORANJ SYMPHONETTE (The Pink Panther), and THE VENTURES (Secret Agent Man). NANCY SINATRA adds her own take on the subject with the song ‘The Last Of The Secret Agents’ along the way.
The diversity of the five other sets is what you’d expect as a regular listener to this broadcast and today is no exception. More new pieces are heard from FLORA PURIM, MARK ALLENDER, and DAMON ALBARN, there’s ‘vault’ material from PETER HAMMILL, THE BEATLES, CAN, and TALKING HEADS, indie rock with MONKS OF DOOM, DENGUE FEVER, and WIRE, plus tracks from WILCO, ANGELO BADALAMENTI, DAVID CUNNINGHAM, ADRIAN BELEW, and JOHN KIRKPATRICK.

A Special 'Tuesday Rewind' from the Archives is today's selection for July 19, 2022 as I am releasing my '4th Anniversary Show' of Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #174) from July 29, 2016. Here's the details:
Boy oh boy, I’ve been at it so long now that I’ve almost let an important anniversary date slip by that commemorates my return to radio. In the case of today’s program, TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (#174), I nearly forgot that this show marks the start of my fourth year at SFCR/KUSF-in-Exile.

History was made this week as the James Webb Space Telescope sent back it’s first photos with clarity and depth, allowing us to gaze further back in time towards the origin of the universe so on this week’s TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #474) I’ll dedicate an entire set to that monumental achievement. You’ll hear music from DONOVAN, HAWKWIND, PRIMAL SCREAM, THOMAS NEWMAN (from Wall-E), LEONARD NIMOY, GONG, and several others to begin the programs final hour.
There’s plenty of other ‘goodies’ to get to beforehand, including my usual preferences of ‘vault’ material, new releases, and ‘worldly’ music from far and wide.
I’ve even added Native American elements to the second set influenced by a TV series I’m currently obsessed with. You’ll hear songs from ROBBIE ROBERTSON, GERONIMO BLACK, MANFRED MANN’S PLAIN’S MUSIC, and PEACEPIPE surrounded by other pieces from SUFJAN STEVENS, SHANE CURRY, and KEN NORDINE.

Transmusic Airwaves is a journey beyond conventional radio boundaries. It encompasses various musical forms and styles loosely centered on “Progressive”, with attention to transitions that form…
Transmusic Airwaves is the brainchild of Paul Ciminero, whose radio roots began in the 1970's at WKSU's late-night Fresh Air program. Transmusic began weekly podcasts in 2013 that continued until Paul's passing at the end of 2022. Afterwards, it expanded as a collaborative effort introducing a broader audio palette via multiple hosts and their respective musical knowledge. In this way, Transmusic has become the modern form of the old Fresh Air program!
