Hear a groove-centered propulsive work by San Diego-based composer, performer and improviser Christopher Adler tonight on this New Sounds - just one of several works for percussion. Hear Adler's "Ecstatic Volutions in a Neon Haze." Also, there's some percussive music about architecture from drummer/composer John Hollenbeck. Ethos Percussion Group plays his "Ziggurat, (interior)," requiring teamwork from each of the four artisans to construct the sacred structure. Also, something brand new from Gamelan Son of Lion and more.

Away From Jazz

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.
