Hear some percussion-centered works on this New Sounds show. There's the Los Angeles-based Ironworks Percussion Duo playing a work for vibraphone and steel drum by Missy Mazzoli. We'll also hear music by composer and steel pan virtuoso Andy Akiho, along with something from bagpiper/composer Matthew Welch's band Blarvuster, an outfit that somehow pulls in Balinese/Indonesian gamelan, Celtic influences, & minimalist licks.
Also, a 25-year old recording of music by Eric Stokes, performed by Zeitgeist from our WNYC studios, and perhaps a sample from the new So Percussion release featuring works by Steven Mackey as well.

I would love to have the name of this upcoming male singer from Seattle, Wa. I belive it was John Schaefer who on Wednesday Dec. 26, 2012 played a few sound clips from this guy's album. I think his name is Michael Agis? Not sure what his last name is. I love his sound. Can you please shed some light on this. Do you know the guy's name? And if so, the name of the song selection that was played yesterday?? I live 13 miles west of NYC. Looking forward to your answer so I can download some of this guy's music. Many thanks! Gerry
