Music Inspired by Southeast Asia
Hear the snaking vocal harmonies of Papua New Guinea and rhythms of Indonesian gamelan music, along with Indian vocal techniques on this edition of New Sounds. It’s a program of world music inspired by Southeast Asia, featuring music by David Parsons, from his Ngaio Gamelan project. Also, there's music by Telek with ancestral drums (the hourglass-shaped kundu and the massive slit-log garamut) and tropical guitar, infused with the spirit and pride of the Tolai people of Papua New Guinea. Plus, listen to the ethnoambient sounds of the John Hassell and Brian Eno collaboration, Possible Musics, where Hassell incorporates Indian vocal techniques into his trumpet-playing, and more.

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.
