Host John Schaefer, aka "DJ Disorder"New Releases January 2009
John Schaefer picks through the bucketloads of CDs that have flooded his office to find a sampling of new releases worthy of showcasing in tonight's New Sounds program. Look for some earthy-folky prog chamber rock music from the outfit called QQQ, made up of violin, viola, guitar and drums. Also, there's music from the Bad Plus, along with a new album of works performed by the Ethos Percussion Group. Plus, hopefully we'll sample interpretations of opera by reedman Gianluigi Trovesi that take the Rossini statement, "How wonderful opera would be if there were no singers," and riff entertainingly on all sorts of Italian warhorses (La Traviata, Tosca, L'orfeo, 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.
