For this New Sounds, listen to the found sounds of narration from strange and wonderful recordings in music by the Books. We'll hear from their release, "The Way Out," a playful and surreal effort recorded in the Books' home studios.
Also on the show, listen to music from pianist/composer Vijay Iyer and poet/performer Mike Ladd, from a narrative work, "In What Language?" a hybrid project featuring an eleven-piece ensemble of musicians and speaking voices. Plus, music from Pete M. Wyer, Michael Nyman, and more.
