Episode #2536
Indigenous Shrinking World
Saturday, April 19, 2008
For this New Sounds, sample some music whose instrumentation, tuning, and blend of styles reflects the collision of East and West, old and new, composed and improvised. This "indigenous music for a shrinking world" includes music by Ken Schaphorst, this time in a trio setting, from his release Indigenous Technology, which layers rich textures of cello, piano, and marimba. Plus, there’s music by Steven Mackey, whose work “Indigenous Instruments,” sounds like folk music from an invented world, what with the microtones, extended techniques and unusual sounds. And more.
