One Ring Zero with thereminist Margaret Atwood (www.oneringzero.com)Program #2321
This edition of New Sounds offers up songs by the band One Ring Zero, and more. The two-man band —Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp— culls music from anywhere they can in order to achieve the sound they want, using anything from claviola to toy piano, Theremin to kitty litter. ORZ’s most recent album, "As Smart As We Are," features a quirky collection of songs telling tales of hermaphrodites and Jesus to Golem lovers, scored to circus-klezmer tunes. And it’s a literary experience as well, with lyrics contributed by such authors as Jonathan Lethem, Margaret Atwood, Paul Auster, Dave Eggers, A.M. Homes, Rick Moody, and Denis Johnson. Plus, as part of this season’s New Sounds Live concert series, One Ring Zero will be performing some of these songs with Paul Auster and Rick Moody on November 3 at 7PM at the World Financial Center’s Winter Garden.

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.
