New Sounds
Program #803
Show #803
Tuesday, August 24, 2004
This 1992 New Sounds From the Vaults is another in the series of programs involving “extended techniques.” Built around the extended piano, hear all sorts of things that were never meant to happen to a piano: Stephen Scott’s bowed piano, where the ensemble plays the piano’s insides, Terry Riley’s music for plucked piano, prepared piano music by John Cage, and music from one of the great American Maverick composers – Henry Cowell. Plus, there’s also some digital piano music, state-of-the-art, back in the early 1990’s – music by Sorrel Hays.
