DESERT ORACLE #10

Desert Oracle #10

We’ve got a couple of classic episodes on the radio in Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley/29 Palms tonight, as we’ve been mailing & otherwise distributing Desert Oracle #10, the latest of our pocket-sized periodicals all about the strange & mysterious desert lands.

Listen to these episodes tonight 10-11 p.m. on Z107.7 FM in the Mojave High Desert, streaming online if you’re out of range: “Owl’s Eye View (#164)” and “Superbloom! (#050).” (Some very moody desert soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver on both episodes. Have you seen the RBBS Bandcamp page?)

You can subscribe to the print magazine right here on this website. Four issues delivered to your mailbox, hopefully several this year!

EPISODE #186: THE NATURE OF COLOR AND VISION

The Nature of Color and Vision - Desert Oracle Radio - William Blake illustration

The waxing moon is moving through the constellation of Leo, Mars is fading, and Venus hangs heavy in the western sky. Venus seems enormous, especially late at night, low over our western mountains. Meanwhile on the desert floor, and splashed brightly up the desert hillsides, wondrous carpets of yellow and orange and violet wildflowers delight the eye & the soul.

This is EPISODE #186 of Desert Oracle RadioThe Nature of Color & Vision, by Ken Layne and with lush new soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Thanks for supporting this advertising-free radio show via patreon.com/desertoracle. Listen to the radio broadcast tonight at 10 p.m. on KCDZ 107.7 FM in Joshua Tree & the Mojave High Desert.
