#4010: Stringed Instruments & Electronics

New Sounds | Aug 8, 2017

Hear a whole lot of music for stringed instruments and electronics. There's music for several layers of cellist Zoe Keating, bass player/composer Florence Ghys, and the late violinist Michael Galasso. Also, hear music from instrument inventor and composer Paul Dresher involving guitar (hey, guitar is a string instrument) and electronics. 

Then, listen to music by High Plains, which is a duo of electronic musician Scott Morgan (loscil) and the Madison, Wisconsin-based cellist Mark Bridges. Also, hear a work by Missy Mazzoli. And more.
