Program #2057
With any conventional piano, a hammer drops on string, and sound is produced. Well, perhaps not always, for on this edition of New Sounds, there are some unusual approaches to noisemaking at the piano, including ebow, electronic processing, and overdubs, although not all at once. Hear the eerie and theremin-like, yet somehow evil-sounding ebow (a little magnet which produces a sustain) on piano strings with Maggi Payne’s work “Holding Patterns,” performed live in the WNYC studio by pianist Sarah Cahill. Also listen to Charles K. Noyes’ processed piano music; and the “string” piano, or the insides of the piano, as Margaret Leng-Tan plays John Cage’s “In the Name of the Holocaust.”

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.
