Program #2296
This New Sounds program is devoted to new music from California, with some brand-new Cold Blue recordings along with recent moody piano musings from Harold Budd. Listen to selections from Budd’s ambient and dreamy “The Room,” whose walls invite discovery. Also, there’s music from the composer and founder of the recently revived Cold Blue Music label, Jim Fox, and his piece for trombones, strings and piano, “The City The Wind Swept Away,” self-described as both “motionless and moving forward with a strange sense of inevitability.” Rounding out the show is more compelling music from Cold Blue by Daniel Lentz, with his far-reaching “Los Tigres De Marte,” for clarinet, string quartet and electronic keyboards.

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.
