Sylvain Chauveau
Sunday, January 18, 2009
French composer Sylvain Chauveau creates music of beautiful austerity. It sounds private but not withdrawn; the listener waits with Chauveau for the next note or chord to emerge and unfold, carried along by gentle anticipation. Sylvain first visited Spinning On Air four years ago, and now returns to play us a set of beautiful pieces for solo piano, and to talk about his music and motivations with host David Garland.
The Pictish Trail
Sunday, January 11, 2009
The Picts were the ancient inhabitants of what's now Scotland, and Scottish songwriter Johnny Lynch calls his project The Pictish Trail. But Johnny's songs are very modern amalgams of folk, pop, soul, and experimentalism, as you can hear when The Pictish Trail joins host David Garland to present his music in the WNYC Studio. Back in Scotland Johnny also helps run Fence Records and organize The Fence Collective, projects that document and bring together a lively community of songwriters. He'll tell us about that, and sing some songs along with friends Viking Moses and Golden Ghost.
