    Program #1856

    Guitarist and King Crimson founder Robert Fripp has enjoyed a fascinating solo career, drawing on influences of minimalism as well as the stylings of such New Age players as Michael Hedges. His music finds a worthy counterpart in composer Phil Kline, whose own works stretch across the boundaries between contemporary classical and ambient electronica. We hear both artists on this edition of New Sounds, with Kline's "Exquisite Corpses," from the Bang on a Can CD, Renegade Heaven. Fripp is represented through an appearance at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden, part of a fall 2000 New Sounds Live program.

PROGRAM #1856, music by Phil Kline and Robert Fripp (First aired on 11/29/00)

Things With Strings

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this edition of New Sounds, hear new music for strings, including music from Andrew Bird, whose little-known companion album of adventurous instrumentals called “Useless Creatures” incorporates West African rhythms and showcases his multi-layered violin loops.

New Sounds Essentials: World Music

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
New Sounds presents another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and 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.
