Featuring part one of an interview with composer Karen Amrhein (with part two ready to go for episode #9), there's a glitch here and a digital artifact there, but overall it's another jolly collection of information, mixing serious observations regarding contemporary classical music with irreverent yammering as only Common Tone can do it.

Common Tone Episode 6 was originally released on September 5th, 2005 and is now available once again for download.   While this episode features a discussion on the life and works of synthesizer and electronic music pioneer Dr. Robert Moog (1934-2005), its focus is really just classic silliness. We introduce a few technical advances, audition some theme music options, introduce our first mailbag segment and t-shirt contest and, at the frantic request of a listener, we also address the plight of the Naperville Carillon.As if that's not enough, we also experience our first technical problems. Sound like fun? Episode 6 is very busy, with more humor and less serious music than any prior episode. Don't forget our store at Zazzle.com. There's a message forum so you can interact with us & leave comments or questions. Check out our Wear It Proudly series, featuring some of the shiniest foreheads in modern classical music. They're way funny. Buy one and show the world what a sophisticate you are.
