David Flynn, composerTraditionally Rooted New Irish Music
New Music from Ireland is in the spotlight for this New Sounds program. Ireland has seen a renaissance in the past 5-10 years or so in contemporary music, with works drawing on minimalism, post-minimalism, electronica, and world music. To that end, we'll hear composer and heavy metal guitarist David Flynn's post-minimalist string quartet “The Cranning.” There's also music from producer and composer Daniel Figgis, along with music from composer and founder of the Crash Ensemble, Donnacha Dennehy. Plus, listen to selections by composer/vocalist Michael McGlynn, founder of the Irish choral ensemble Anúna. And more.

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.
