Description:

peripheral music pushes and blurs boundaries, and has at least one foot firmly outside the mainstream.

peripheral music comes from many directions:
experimental, jazz, electronica, avant-garde, ambient, glitch, lo-fi, sound collage, rock, classical, world, etc.

peripheral music is music that appeals to adventurous, open-minded listeners. it might employ traditional forms, or it might be "free form". some of it is "accessible" and some of it may be "difficult" - but it generally stops short of things that are just difficult and nothing else.

peripheral music is also associated with but not limited to the artists of the peripheral music quasi-netlabel:
dadala, Jopy, RDunlap, Michael Chocholak, PcOnTrApTiOn , Phenotypo, ifal and The Dunlaps.

Peripheral Stations:
> peripheral music tag radio
> peripheral group artist-members
> some peripheral playlists by tergan
> artists associated with the peripheral music label
> dadala radio (dadala's similar artists)

Hello, every body! I'm new to the group, and I love combined musical genres and uncommon forms of composition.

hey all, i've been listening to the "Group Radio" (the one generated by last.fm from artists listened to by group members) and i have to say i've been very pleasantly surprised! maybe i just got lucky shuffles, but so far it's been a really good station. check it out!

here's another recommendation to group members: musinum has created a new group (Chappaqua) and along with it a fantastic library-driven station playing all the group's connections: Chappaqua Artist Radio. Give it a spin sometime, great stuff.

i've been listening to and downloading this collection from Clinical Archives: Clinical Jazz, discovering a lot of great things, many excellent tracks. I'm still working my way through this expansive and eclectic set but from what i've heard so far i highly recommend it to peripheral group members!
