It's time for the WTUL's 55th Annual Rock On Survival Marathon in support of Tulane’s non-commercial student-run radio station! The Marathon fundraiser got its start from an attempt to solve a budget crisis in the early days of the station. A DJ vowed to stay on the air until student government granted WTUL emergency funding — the first broadcast marathon in WTUL’s history. The modern version of Marathon features three sets of DJs who each stay on air and broadcast for 24-hours straight. There’s lots of fun events for the two weeks leading up to the actual Marathon broadcast so tune in! Full schedule of events below.
Legendary American composer Carl Stone is a pioneer of live computer music, and Eric Theise is a San Francisco-based artist and geospatial software developer. The two are in New Orleans this week to perform a collaborative set under the banner of Eric's ongoing performance cartography project, "A Synesthete's Atlas," taking place on April 5th at 7:30pm at Silver City Grocery in Algiers Point. Before flying into town, both artists joined WTUL's 20/21 show host DJ Pennebaker for a virtual conversation about their collaboration and careers.
