"Green Music"
Monday, July 06, 2009
For this edition of New Sounds, hear some “Green Music,” that is, music with a global environmental bent. We’ll listen to philosopher, author and musician David Rothenberg’s latest, compositions with clarinet to the sounds of whale calls. Also, we’ll hear concert music by composer/violinist Patmore Lewis, centering around the effects of global warming on the Rillito River, no longer flowing year-round through Tucson, AZ. Plus, music from “Green” by cellist Hank Roberts, his “Lenape Suite,” and more.
Electronic Music
Sunday, July 05, 2009
Irish composer Linda Buckley summons both electronic and acoustic forces and her works to date have used organ and multi-channel tape, prepared piano and Javanese Gamelan, among others. We'll hear some of her music written for the theatre on this New Sounds program. Plus, Madison, Wisconsin-based composer Gregory Taylor marries the Javanese slendro scale and synthesizers, sampling, looping and processing to create some incredibly textured and layered clouds of gamelan music and glitch-ambience. There's also music from Norway's Arve Henriksen, Seattle's K. Leimer, and more.
Kamikaze Ground Crew & Members
Saturday, July 04, 2009
Up on this New Sounds, there's brand new music from one of New York's all-star music groups - the Kamikaze Ground Crew. We'll hear selections from their latest release of skewed habaneras and extended widescreen compositions, called "Postcards from the Highwire." Also, individual projects from the various Crew members including Doug Wieselman, Steven Bernstein, Gina Leishman, Art Baron, leading or supporting such groups as Trio S, Sex Mob, the Millennial Territory Orchestra, Hieroglyphic Ensemble, and Bill Frisell's Trio.
New Keyboard Music
Friday, July 03, 2009
On this edition of New Sounds, listen to new music for keyboard from the likes of W.A. Mathieu, Rob Burger, and Elodie Lauten, among others. Mathieu -a pianist, composer, author, and teacher - was a disciple of North Indian vocalist Pandit Pran Nath for some 25 years, and collaborates with Hamza El Din. We’ll hear his work “In The Wind.” Also, from Elodie Lauten, we’ll hear one of her “Earth Works,” - the “Variations on the Orange Cycle,” an exploration of the experience of time and based on earth tones, the 24-hour tone. Plus, hear music from Rob Burger’s 2002 release “Lost Photograph” on which he makes various keyboards - accordion, pump organ, and toy pianos evoke tango and lounge, filtered through fire-escape strains of Latin music.
Glass Bead Game
Thursday, July 02, 2009
The UK guitarist and composer James Blackshaw is a prodigious young talent who’s been seen as part of the guitar tradition of the late American John Fahey. Now, his work has expanded to include mysticism, occasional other instruments, and long-form, almost classical structures. He’ll play live in our studio, and we'll listen to some of his recent release, "The Glass Bead Game." And more.
