John Vanderslice (Piper Ferguson)Thinking Person's Musicians
San Francisco songwriter John Vanderslice has been called one of the finest songwriters working in under-the-radar rock music today. Noted as "not only a musician’s musician, but an Audiophile’s music lover and a thinking person’s bohemian artist," he visits Soundcheck to talk about his latest release, Pixel Revolt. The CD has been described as half break-up album, half political rant. Also on the show: pianist Wu Han, who is not only a recording artist, but also a music educator, arts administrator and cultural entrepreneur. She is the founder of Artistled, classical music’s first musician-directed and internet-based recording company. Wu Han will be joined by fellow Chamber Music Society member and violist, Paul Neubauer, who at 21 was the youngest principal string player in the New York Philharmonic’s history. Together, they'll perform live on the show.

Soundcheck
Throughout May, Soundcheck presents “Sound Off” a Friday series on the many aspects of noise in music and our lives. The series -- which coincides with “Better Hearing and Speech Month” -- looks at issues like New York’s noisiest neighborhoods, the latest research on iPods and hearing loss, and what happens when noise becomes a musical ingredient.
