New Music for Violin(s) and Electronics
Cornelius Dufallo, composer and violinist in the group Ethel, draws inspiration from the New York nightscape on his solo effort, "Dream Streets." On this New Sounds program, we’ll hear how Dufallo's acoustic and electronic elements are used to weave stasis music. Also, composer, software designer, and band leader of Slow Six Christopher Tignor has just released his solo debut, "Core Memory Unwound," full of intimate tone poems for violin (and piano), both acoustic and treated through his software instruments. Then, from violinist/composer and now Massachussetts-based Todd Reynolds, we’ll hear works for processed violin and interactive electronics, plus something from Michael Galasso for solo violin and tape. 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.
