Program #1877
Bang On A Can's December 2000 Millennium Marathon was among the more memorable of that organization's annual, all-embracing musical extravaganzas. It was the first year the event took place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and as this episode of New Sounds shows, the event arrived with a bang. We hear the Finnish shouting choir Huutajat (pronounced HOO-tah-yaht), offering their renditions of national anthems of the U.S. and Belgian. We also hear Gamelan Galak Tika's performances of Evan Ziporyn's mesmerizing "Aneh Tapi Nyata." And not least, there's an early performance by the then-emerging string quartet Ethel, which performs John King's "What Blues."

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.
