A riff on Jon Hassell's Fourth World series. Where Hassell focused on creating ritual music of potential societies that didn't exist; Ian Kim Judd seeks to evoke the notion of potential utopian societies that could exist. In these times of global instability and uncertainty, Fifth World seeks to posit an alternative, with scenes from an optimistic future. From the host: "We're late into the Summer quarter in NYC; tropical storms and flood watches abound. Feels only appropriate to tap into an hour long immersion into the slow, beautiful world of quiet storm, guided by NYC-based producer Coldsteel."
