Program #2072
Though much of Erik Satie's music remains little known beyond the ranks of devoted aficionada, the Trois Gymnopedies pour piano (1888) for piano are instantly familiar. Indeed, Satie may have been amused by sheer the range of the contexts in which they have since been presented, from jazz-rock fusion arrangements to ballet scores to commercials for mundane consumer products. This edition of New Sounds looks at a variety of modern works inspired by these Impressionistic miniatures, including Brian Agro's "Poems and Preludes," Philip Glass's "Metamorphosis #2," and William Bland's "True and Authentic Gymnopedie," among others.

Away From Jazz
New Sounds
airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.
In Robert Moran's Kitchen
New Sounds
From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
