New Music for Solo Piano
There’s new music for solo piano by the likes of Seth Kaufman, whose piano sound draws on the dramatic gorges of the Finger lakes area of upstate New York, as well as New Orleans. Shake those up and you have passionate and intense works rooted in jazz, rock and minimalism. We’ll hear music from his latest record, "Compartments," on this edition of New Sounds. Also, listen to works by German pianist/composer Hans Otte from a new compilation disc of reissued works, “the book of sounds.” Otte served for 25 years as the music director for Radio Bremen, in addition to his written output of musical theatre, poems, and drawings. Plus, piano music by minimalist master Terry Riley, and much more.

Away From Jazz
New Sounds

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.

I heard Seth Kaufman's music on this show and have been able to track him down for some NYC show ideas ever since. No artist site, no myspace, no google results with contact info. Seth, if you're reading this please click on my name and get in touch :)
