Composer Louis AndriessenNew Music from the Netherlands
Dutch composer Louis Andriessen is fond of hard instrumental edges and combinations of rhythmic styles – Stravinsky’s driving vigor and Minimalism’s lulling repetitions are often found in his music. And, just to make it more difficult to pin down Andriessen, he craftily mixes electronic and traditional instruments in his works. Also on this program of new music from Holland, is a work by so-called proponent of “minimalist style”, Simeon Ten Holt, whose music relies not only on repetition, but also an absence of time. Plus hear the urban melodies of Thom Willems and the rootsy instrumental chamber group Flairck, all on this edition of New Sounds

Away From Jazz

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.
