What is ESP? An acronym for Eclectic Set Programming. An Eclectic Set is defined as, "an uninterrupted arrangement of songs and/or sounds produced and engineered in such a way that the grouping becomes a work in itself." The set really does become greater than the sum of the songs. Much attention is given to themes, eras, beat, key, rhythm, flow, and most importantly: relationships. Eclectic Sets can cross all genres and eras and vary from 20 to 80 uninterrupted minutes. Sets can be chained together to create Programs of a particular theme or a specific length. Several program series have been produced, including a longtime favorite, Rare Waves, which blends Progressive Rock/Pop, Jazz Fusion, and Ambient/New Age spanning four decades. Eclectic Sets are pre-recorded using multi-channel recorders and mixers. Songs are assembled and then cross-faded, one at a time, onto alternating pairs of tracks. Additional tracks are used for ambient effects and sound bridges. This whole process, while very time consuming, allows for selective content, precision segues, artistic flow, and creative programming techniques. Programs on Live365.com include a mix of Eclectic Sets and specially selected tunes. The Playlist is tweaked regularly. The web site, once up, will include set contents and artist information. Until then, feel free to request info via e-mail. For more information, contact RareWaveMusic@aol.com.
