For this New Sounds, take in some music made by the piano, (technically a percussion instrument), with and without additional percussion and sometimes processing, as in "White Bone Country" by Australian-born, New York-based Andrew Byrne. There's also music by Irish composer Roger Doyle, who uses piano and processing in a piece called "Cool Steel Army." Then we'll listen to Dave King's drumming AND piano-playing from his solo record, "Indelicate." Plus, hear piano music from Wayne Horvitz and Robin Holcomb.

New Music from New Zealand (Weekly Podcast)
New Zealand-based Jack Body has written electroacoustic compositions using field recordings from Indonesia (and has also written for the Kronos Quartet.) We’ll hear his collage of street sounds and toys that ends with pigeons taking off, each with different sized whistles attached. Also, there’s music from New Zealand composer Gareth Farr, who incorporates the sounds of Indonesian gamelan music into his writing.
