Episode #3087
New Songs Live: Kahane and Pastorini
Friday, June 11, 2010
From the New Sounds Live concerts at Merkin Hall, hear the second part of a program of new art songs, including works by Ed Pastorini and Gabriel Kahane , two gifted New York singer/pianists with an unusual approach to the song form.
Kahane's gentle baritone and piano /horns /whathaveyou easily trips through pop, concert hall, and theatre, inventing new textures and serving up biting lyrics. Pastorini draws on twisted 1950's jazz harmonies (he studied with Lennie Tristano ) to write piano-based songs that sound like he once sang along with saxophone solos. Plus, Elizabeth & the Catapult perform a bonus arrangement of a Leonard Cohen tune, and more.

Piano Insides
Explore the sounds of a piano's insides on this New Sounds program. From the prepared piano to the bowed and/or plucked piano strings inside the body of the beast, there are sure to be unusual sounds galore. Listen to Ergo, an electro-acoustic trio - somehow both slinky and spacey - with trombone, prepared piano, drums, and special guests on guitar.
