    More Ambient Music

    Ambient music can be music of little or no rhythm, with background sounds and effects as foreground music, perhaps bringing to mind works by Brian Eno. There’s also some danger of falling into the "new age" category. Well, on this edition of New Sounds, listen to some ambient music that takes the modern drone and renders it stately, as in the latest release by K. Leimer, “Statistical Truth,” as well as some looks back to works by Fripp & Eno. Also, works by Michael Jon Fink from the Cold Blue family and Bach as interpreted by Anton Batagov.

    hi -

    your new spiffy page is nice but you have apparently dropped from its 'menu' the numerical list of your archived shows (not the monthly 'archives' rendering).

    as a relatively recent listener, in addition to often listening on line to the nightly show and the noon 'from the vaults' programs, i had been also attacking the old shows from #1 and was approaching #100!

    this was much easier than using the archive (monthly) list. might you reinstate the numerical list (or tell me where i'm now overlooking it)?

    in any event, i really enjoy and appreciate the show.

    burton steck,

    In this genre, Robert Rich's 'Atlas Dei' cd or dvd is highly recommended.

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.

Robert Moran

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.
