Ralph TownerBarely Baroque
For this New Sounds, hear new arrangements of 17th and 18th century music, including J.S. Bach by the Jacques Loussier Trio, and art songs by The Dowland Project. Also, the new music quartet Clogs mess with baroque minimalism in music by Johann Hieronymus Kapsburger and Ralph Towner flirts with baroque rhythms on his 12-string. And, as always, much more.

Twitchy Renaissance-Infused Minimalism
New Sounds
From the New Sounds Live concerts at Merkin Hall, Nico Muhly presents a series of new electroacoustic ensemble works, combining “twitchy Minimalism” and Renaissance polyphony. Hear brand-new works from "Mothertongue," along with other works, recorded live.
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.
Michael Hedges and Michael Manring
New Sounds
The incredibly gifted and astonishingly original guitarist Michael Hedges left the planet much too soon in 1997. Avant-folk and ever-entertaining, Hedges made brilliant music with alternate tunings, harmonics and was known for striking the guitar’s body and strings with his fingers, palms and knuckles. His close friend and sometime collaborator, electric bass virtuoso Michael Manring, was a genre-bender, before music writers ever discovered that hyphenated term. He started out in the New Age bins, but moved all over with various projects, including the very first New Age-death-metal-jazz-funk-fusion record, among other things, with his “hyperbass”, (a fretless instrument which makes re-tuning mid-piece a little easier). On this October 10, 1987 edition of New Sounds, the two artists visited and played at the WNYC performance studios.
Caravan Variations
New Sounds
Like camels slogging through the sand, the exotic strains of “Caravan,” by Duke Ellington and his sometime trombonist Juan Tizol (with rarely heard lyrics by Irving Mills), have been played loose, fast, swinging, and/or slow by just about everyone. For this New Sounds program, it’s another of the occasional series of programs of Theme and Variations, where the premise is simple: take a single piece of music and explore what a number of musicians have done with it, through arrangements, deconstructions, and revisions of the original theme. This time around, it’s Duke Ellington’s “Caravan.” Listen to arrangements by Romania’s Fanfare Ciocarlia, Hungary’s Kalman Balogh & The Gipsy Cimbalom Band, the California Guitar Trio, the ska group Hepcat, banjoman Bela Fleck, Lebanese composer Rabih Abou-Khalil, and trumpeter/composer Jon Hassell, among others.

Listening to New Sounds, Feb 2. What was the music John Shaefer was playing just before 11 PM, something called Rehearsing the Choir? Do you have info on this music? I really liked the piece.
2/2/08 11PM-Midnight show about Jazz that is not quite Jazz, play list is not posted, but the band was from Belgium called (phonetic spelling) "OXACMABOULE" an album from the 80's. Could you please send me the playlist a/o proper spelling, I have been looking for the 1st song played for 20 years. It used to be the opening song from a DJ named "The Immigrant" on WFMU in the 80's-90's.
Thank you much appreciateD
Hi there! The cut you mentionned is entitled "Milano Per Caso" and it can be found on Marc Hollander's band Aksak Maboul "Onze Danses pour Combattre La Migraine" which was released on Crammed Discs in Belgium back in the late 70's and more recentely on CD. I did indeed use this piece as the opening theme for my WFMU 91.1FM show which I hosted between 1979 and 1991. I later kept on using the same piece on my CKUT 90.3FM show in Montreal between 1991 and 2004 when I left for Radio-Canada's Espace musique where I still do radio every Friday evening between 8:00PM and 11:00PM as well as at other times. For more details, please go to: www.radio-canada.ca/espacemusique and click on my name in the section labelled "Animateurs". Good to see that some people remember! Stay creative!
Dan Behrman, The Immigrant
