The Rest is Music is a monthly show on Cashmere Radio, dedicated to contemporary and experimental music.
What began as a casual program exploring mixed music (i.e., compositions that combine acoustic instruments with electronic media) gradually evolved into a deeper inquiry of contemporary music socio-political dimension such as the standardization of repertoire, gender representation, racial inequalities and post-migrant experiences.
The show places particular emphasis on music that lies outside the established canon, spotlighting underrepresented voices such as Colombian and Latin American composers, FLINTA artists, and Ukrainian musicians. With more than 40 scripted episodes, The Rest is Music combines educational segments with artist interviews, fostering a space for perspectives that challenge traditional norms in contemporary music.
With more than forty episodes, including an ongoing collaboration with initiative neue musik Berlin’s Month of Contemporary Music, the show has hosted more than fifty artists, musicians, and composers from both Berlin’s local scene and the broader international contemporary music community. These conversations take place in German, English, and Spanish, and feature musicians from Berlin and Bogotá, as well as international guests.
