New Sounds
Program #2058
Show #2058
Wednesday, March 26, 2003
Electronic music has come in many shapes and sizes today, from techno beats to complex sonic manipulations of the IRCAM school. On this installment of New Sounds we hear Alvin Curran's evocative and curiously lyrical "Song and Views of the Magnetic Garden" (1973), a work that combines chanting, singing, the bells of Rome, the lapping of the ocean, and many other sounds. Jonathan Harvey's tape piece "Mortuos Plango Vivos Voco" resulted from an invitation from Boulez to work at IRCAM in the early 1980s. And Luc Ferrari's 1977 Place des abbesses is an evocative electro acoustic work realized at his home studio in Paris.
