Program #2317
Show #2317
Tuesday, September 07, 2004
There’s industrial strength "Concrete" music on this New Sounds program. Hear works that incorporate the sounds of typewriters, vacuum cleaners, cash registers, and construction equipment, among other things. Listen as composer Molly Thompson manages to turn an annoyance -the construction going on outside her window- into music, with her work “Draft of Shadows.” Also, there’s music hidden in such things as escalators or typewriters, with “Project Soundwave,” where you’ll hear Viennese based composer Thom Poe’s “Concert for Escalators.” And much more.
