Ethel (Steve J. Sherman)Instrumental Crossovers
On this edition of New Sounds, the string quartet Ethel plays “Nepomuk’s Dances” by Marcelo Zarvos from their brand-new release “Light.” It's a work with a Latin-American flavor, snappy crisp pizzicatos, fiery fast passages and a (literally) foot-stomping final movement. Also, indie-rock heroes Yo La Tengo play their own instrumental “Daphnia,” from the new album whose title just rolls off the tongue, “I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your Ass.” Plus, music by Explosions in the Sky, Slow Six, and a host of other samplings of music without words.
PROGRAM #2586, “Instrumental Crossovers” (First aired on Thurs. 9-21-06)

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.
