New Releases September 2008
It's the most wonderful time of the month - the showcasing of new releases! On this New Sounds program, listen to the pick of the piles. There'll probably be new music by the Norwegian fiddles of Frigg, choral hockets and percussion triptychs from Robert Moran, and a sublime second edition of Gurdjieff/Byzantium chant-rooted music in the hands of pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos and the cello of Anya Lechner, this time with percussion provided by U.T. Gandhi. Plus, acoustic Afro-pop from Ghana for the kora-like instrument called the seprewa, and more.
PROGRAM # 2850, New Releases, September 2008 (First aired on Tues. 9/30/08)

Things With Strings
New Sounds
Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM

New Sounds Essentials: World Music
New Sounds
Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
New Sounds presents another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and others.
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.

I just listened to your podcast about new releases for Sept 2008 featuring Cantus. I am a current member of Cantus and appreciate you playing our new disc. But our name is pronounced "con'-toose", not "con'-tuhs". Also the translation for the song titles are all in the liner notes of the disc. The Tormes piece translates to "Three I had those words of beauty".
Thanks!
