    Program #1867

    The ethereal textures of the English boychoir Libera; the minimalist mixed-voice works of Finnish master Einojuhani Rautavaara; the calming, mystical sounds of solo ambient musician Sara Ayers: These seemingly disparate artists all carry forward with a particular vocal music tradition rooted in everything from ancient chants to austere folk genres. These join vocal works by Daniel Lentz, Garrett Fisher, and Alma Anima, among others, on this installment of New Sounds.

Things With Strings

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM

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.
