    Eyvind Kang, Plus a Spaced-Out Summer Holiday

    Eyvind Kang is a young composer, violinist, and multi-instrumentalist. This world-traveler writes compositions which are journeys to new places. His music is extraordinarily wide-ranging, encompassing delicate lyricism and brutal noise. On this Spinning On Air, hear some of his latest CD, "Live Low to the Earth, In the Iron Age," in which side excursions are taken from a rich highway of drones. We also hear some of Kang's earlier releases. During the latter part of the show we take a spaced-out summer holiday, featuring the Orchestra du Soleil. Their new release, "Mondial," offers campy, Barbarella-inspired sci-fi psychedelia. Their music evokes a trip, too; just a different kind.

Check out a Eyvind Kang Web site featuring information on his projects and a discography.
