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.

The genre of black metal typically conjures images of murder, church burnings, and production that sounds like it was recorded through a tin can in the middle of the Norwegian Woods. The Cosmic Void attempts to prove the beautiful brutality of black metal through more atmospheric and nuanced examples.

Experimental music, lovingly presented
with The Miser
Thursday 11-12am
Upon boarding the galleon, you will listen in awe as The Miser smoothly traverses uncharted chrome waters. The Miser hoards music and plays it nonstop on his vessel. There's no seasickness to be found on the galleon as the euphoric tendencies and soothing vibrations of the music mitigate the ocean's rough current. The galleon mantra is to overstimulate the ears with a bunch of foreign, warbling, blissful, and nostalgic nonsense. All mixing is done by the Miser himself. Join the voyage.
