Coming soon: EPR
EPR, which stands for Emfred Public Radio, is an in-development project which aims to provide a series of long-form audio pieces focused on in-depth discussions of music, literature, and the arts. Episodes will be structured like radio programmes, complete with original music, mock ad-breaks, and various other auditory adventures. The first episode is currently in development and will be released soon!
A successor project to Recordings Without Words, intended to journal a new period of musical development.
The best place to start is the cover page, found here.
