New Eastern Orthodox Singing
Listen to new choral music from Eastern Europe, or based on Eastern Orthodox singing on this edition of New Sounds, including John Tavener's Out of the Night, a gentle, simple setting for tenor and viola of the single word Alleluia. Also, listen to Alfred Schnittke's Psalms of Repentance, whose texts are taken from a 16th-century collection of Old Russian writings, and reflect the melodic and rhythmic inflection of Russian liturgical chant. Plus, music by Arvo Pärt, Veljo Tormis, and the Bulgarian Women’s Chorus.

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.
