    September 2005 New Releases

    It's the New Releases edition of the show - let's call it the New Sounds Harvest Spectacular 2005. John Schaefer carefully separates the wheat from the chaff, making it through the piles, stacks, and overflowing bins of new CDs that have nearly buried his desk. Hear the latest from composers Pete M. Wyer and Donnacha Dennehy, along with John Zorn's radical Jewish-indie-punk-jazz from a CD called "Masada Rock." Plus, listen to the layered flutes of the Los Angeles Flute Quartet and up to 16 layers of cello by Zoe Keating. Rounding out the show is some new material by Roswell Rudd, featuring the combination of trombone and dulcimer, other traditional Mongolian instruments, AND throat singers.

Things With Strings

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this edition of New Sounds, hear new music for strings, including music from Andrew Bird, whose little-known companion album of adventurous instrumentals called “Useless Creatures” incorporates West African rhythms and showcases his multi-layered violin loops.

New Sounds Essentials: World Music

New Sounds

Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
New Sounds presents another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and others.

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.
