Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
For this New Sounds, there's new music from Gaudi & Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Near the 10th anniversary of the death of the great Pakistani singer, Anglo-Italian producer Gaudi takes early vocal tracks by Nusrat and marries them to contemporary dance beats not too far removed from the traditional dance beats of Pakistani qawwali music. Also, Nusrat's collaborations with Michael Brook, Eddie Vedder, and Peter Gabriel. Plus, music from the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Qawwali Party itself.
PROGRAM #2700 Remembering Nusrat (First aired on Thursday, 7/12/07)

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.

John--From a long-time listener:
You could take your shows on Kahn to the next level by getting his songs translated and putting the the translations on this page.
BTW, the new webpage looks great! Congrats.

w insider interviews, really delicious music programming

Producers Circle,
THANK YOU
marja
Thank you both. Marja, it almost seems unfair of me, accepting plaudits for a show full of Nusrat's music, as he is the one who did all the real work. But thanks anyway!
Pam, I'm not sure how many of Nusrat's texts are available, but that's an interesting suggestion. I'll look around for next time...
John
