Episode #2970
Ambient Orchestral Music
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Hear some ambient orchestral music from The Moodswing Orchestra on this New Sounds. The Moodswing Orchestra is what drummer Ben Perowsky calls the "Sideman's Revenge" - it's an aural collage of beats, textures, and ambient-groove improvisations. We'll listen to some of it, plus music from Japanese art-noise outfit Mono's latest, "Hymn to the Immortal Wind." There's also something from groundbreaking electric guitarist/microtonal composer Glenn Branca, and more.
