Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Big time seasonality: There's a new episode of TGE airing tonight at 6pm ET via www.greatcircles.net. Honestly can't believe it's spring already, but we're leaning into it w/ this program, all warm & coming back to life-like. Enjoy. 🌱 030

Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Tonight! TGE's mid-winter program hits www.greatcircles.net. Expect crackle, frizzle, & dust, all glazed over w/ that particular shade of white befitting of the season. The show ends w/ a tribute of sorts to the recently departed Susan Alcorn, madame of the pedal steel guitar Hope you enjoy. 💚 070
Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Constructed a major zone w/ @mjsage.bsky.social over the weekend, exploring imagined ecosystems & notions of cultural erasure. This was our inaugural collab & I hope we get to do it again real soon! 060

Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Big drone action coming up Saturday in Fort Collins, CO w. the lovely Reeder / Seward / Weathers trio, WGFY, & the inaugural duo performance ft. Matt Sage & myself. Expect pastoral brain fry, glitched air, & ripped words. CC: @mjsage.bsky.social, @andrewweathers.bsky.social, @koryreeder.bsky.social 040
Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Another deep loss... I never got to see her live, but I've held a special place for Susan's recordings for a long time now. The intimate resonance defines her work is a wonder, as well as her mastery of a rather arcane instrument not typically used in improvised contexts. Spend time w/ her world.susanalcorn1.bandcamp.comAnd I Await the Resurrection of the Pedal Steel Guitar, by Susan Alcornfrom the album And I Await the Resurrection of the Pedal Steel Guitar 070

Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 23/01/2025The 1st TGE of the 2025 airs tonight at 8pm ET on www.greatcircles.net. This one is a sort of quiet meditation for a world [literally & figuratively] on fire, keying in on slowly elaborating sounds & dreamy shadow mosaics for the quiet hours. Tune in & take care of each other. 💚 030

Carl Ritger @heavywarmth.bsky.social · 15/01/2025FYI // 2024 marked the end of Full Spectrum Records, the imprint I collaborated on w/ @andrewweathers.bsky.social for many years.
