This request is so well written, and his show so interesting, a paean to experimental sound artists, that I copy in as is. I'd like to promote and support Joe Halder's show on a community radio station, CFBU, at Brock University in Saint Catharine's in Ontario. He writes:
Thank you for your reply and permission to play your music/poetry. Here are some facts about the show;

-the Friday live broadcast will also be recorded and re-broadcast on Tuesdays at 12:00AM (the rebroadcast time may change but the live airing will remain a constant)

-listeners may choose to hear the show live through the cfbu.ca website. There is a “listen online” link at the top of the page. Depending on where you live, you will have to figure out what 8:00PM or 12:00AM is in your time zone.
As the host of “The Falling Room” I have been on air since April 2009, broadcasting every Friday and Tuesday.
The focus of “The Falling Room” is to feature primarily independent artists who produce experimental, minimalist, ambient, spoken word and avant garde music that falls completely outside the mainstream of commercial music and radio. Since April 2009 I have featured over 70 independent artists that fit the format of the show.
On occasion I have aired more well known artists such as Brian Eno, Pat Methany, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Tangerine Dream, Laurie Anderson, Jean Michel Jarre, The Golden Palominos and Michael Oldfield.
Thanks for unlocking your material on Soundclick, I will begin to download your works and listen to them for potential future broadcast.
To give Artists an idea of the show’s format, I encourage them to listen online at cfbu.ca on Fridays at 8:00PM. I also have a sampler disk which I can mail out featuring some of the past Soundclick artists that have been featured as well as more well known artists.

In addition, if you would like a copy of the show in which you are featured I can burn it to disk and send it to you. I have included the production sheet for December 18, 2009 show, as a sample.
Lastly, if you have any friends or acquaintances who are artists whose material might fit the format of the show please ask them to check out my webpage at
Thanks again.
