Program #1902
Host John Schaefer presents a sampling of music made with voices on tape. Jocelyn Pook's "Arsenal" uses technology to organize and sequence samples of football chants and then mix it with the sound of a string quartet. Brian Eno and David Byrne's classic "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts" uses tape loops and raga-like song structures, capturing the two at the height of their powers. And Brian Ales weaves guitars and a bracing three-horn chorale with electronic percussion in his work "Mistakes." (pictured right: Jocelyn Pook)

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.
