WGXC Officially Opens its New Hudson Location

This past April, Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM relocated its Hudson studio to the First Presbyterian Church, at Warren and 4th streets.


This past April, Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM relocated its Hudson studio to the First Presbyterian Church, at Warren and 4th streets. Moving WGXC’s primary broadcast studio to a central location has already boosted the station’s visibility and increased community access. The change has revitalized staff and programmers alike and brought a new energy to daily efforts. First Presbyterian’s staff and volunteers have contributed in a significant way to this surge in enthusiasm, going above and beyond to help with the move itself and making everyone feel at home in this historic building.

The WGXC Hudson Studio is open to the public, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The studio entrance can be found on the 4th Street side of the building, off Cherry Alley, across from the Hudson Post Office. You can listen to WGXC on 90.7 FM, or stream it at wavefarm.org/wgxc

Basilica’s Annual 24-Hour Drone Festival is This Weekend, Apr 28 – 29, 2018

Basilica Hudson’s season opener – 24-Hour Drone Experiments in Sound & Music – is this weekend, April 28 and 29, 2018.


Basilica Hudson‘s season opener – 24-Hour Drone Experiments in Sound & Music – is this weekend, April 28 and 29, 2018. The annual festival, presented by Basilica Hudson and Le Guess Who?, is a roving, international series featuring musicians and sound artists experimenting within the spectrum of drones (sustained tones shaped by voice or instrumentation) to create 24 hours of unbroken, uninterrupted sound.

Through this expanded programming, 24-HOUR DRONE strives to break down barriers across borders, offering an opportunity to connect diverse musical communities and traditions, offering a localized snapshot of DRONE within the larger context of universal sound.

24-HOUR DRONE’s immersive and meditative nature emphasizes communion. This is a shared experience devoted to unifying players and listeners alike.

We aim to bring cultures together, demonstrating the diversity inherently present within all music. The cross-pollination of instrumentation, musical traditions and culture creates a tapestry of human experience, elevating the whole, greater than the sum of its parts. Diversity of sound links uncommon components through a seamless sonic and communal experience, with connections and dialogues opened in unexpected ways.
