Irish composer David Flynn visits the WNYC studios for this edition of New Sounds.  Flynn first learned guitar by way of heavy metal riffs and solos, then fell into the folk scene, and incorporates influences from almost all musical styles.  But he wants his chamber pieces to sound Irish.  We'll hear some of these folk roots and how they sound in David's compositions.  Perhaps we'll also hear a bit from the latest collaboration by Dennis Cahill and Martin Hayes, and more.

For this New Sounds, hear violin music inspired by the Cajun, Norwegian, Balkan, Near Eastern, and Indian traditions.  There are works by Steve Tibbetts & Knut Hamre, Kaila Flexer & Gari Hegedus, Michael Galasso, and more.   With any luck, we'll also hear some Celtic Baltic Sephardic music from Teslim, some Norwegian meets Cajun-flavored Louisiana polka from Frigg, and others.
