Program #1879
New York has more than its fair share of individualistic composers. Their music doesn't lend itself to easy categorization but nonetheless represents a host of raw, energetic, and idiosyncratic styles and genres. Host John Schaefer celebrates this fact on this edition of New Sounds, with music by some of the city’s finest musical voices. Highlights include music by Ben Neill; Andy Teirstein; Peter Gordon; and Martha Mooke and Randy Hudson (collectively known as Bowing) and the Paul Dresher Ensemble performing music by Eve Beglarian (from a 1997 New Sounds Live concert at Merkin Hall).

Things With Strings

New Sounds Essentials: World Music
New Sounds

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.
