1 hour
Downtown Manhattan has long been a hotbed for experimentation in music, from punk to classical minimalism. But some say that is less true today and that the best New York music is coming out of Brooklyn. As WNYC opens a new performance space in Lower Manhattan, Soundcheck asks: What is the current sound of Downtown? Guests are the iconic downtown rocker and Grammy Award winner Lou Reed, electro-rap singer Santigold, and the string quartet ETHEL, which returns to present the radio premiere of the Golijov commission from Opening Night.
WNYC Radio commission by Osvaldo Golijov is made possible, in part, by the generous support of the Cheswatyr Foundation.

Making Visible the Invisible
New York City is a raw, unbridled and unique symphonic and polyrhythmic sonic landscape, but WHAT DOES THE NEW YORK CITY SOUNDSCAPE LOOK LIKE? Hit us with your best shot and your photo could become a significant part of a city-wide photographic collaboration this August 2010 at The Greene Space.
WNYC's The Greene Space is the place for the Battle of the Boroughs, a showdown series designed to bring out the best undiscovered bands and ensembles of all genres, instrumentalists, singers, DJs, spoken word artists and performance artists in the five boroughs. Several acts from each borough were selected to perform and compete to represent their borough in the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs, where one act will win a concert in The Greene Space.
on air, online and on the street
A new destination for artists and audiences, The Greene Space was created for live performances, signature WNYC radio shows and video webcasts — with concerts, audio theatre, political and cultural discussions, visual arts, public radio events and more.
