The sixth installment looks at the static music from the late 1950's and early 1960's. Bad Radio episodes 1 through 5 examined the La Monte Young and Terry Riley, two musicians who developed and concentrated on static music in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Static music is music that does not have the dynamic, forward momentum gained from traditional harmony. It can be found non-Western and early music (the drone in Indian music or the model chants of early church music comes to mind). In the West, the early 1950’s and early 1960’s was a time when elements of static music were popping up in a variety of places.
