Abstract Terrain is a weekly radio program dedicated to its audience hungry for new and different sounds not typically available in abundance in any other radio format. Abstract Terrain music couples the abstract with the obscure for something which is true to what No Commercial Potential is all about. Abstract Terrain's audience questions what is considered music, going beyond the bounds of sound in all of its multi-faceted meaning.

Klanglandshaften: soundscapes. A collaging show in which your jockeys attempt to place each listener in a location of their choice, whether that place is 17th century England or a rec basketball game is up to them. Some nights there will be techno, and other nights you will not even be able to know what genre it is that you are listening to. A true manifestation of NCP
