#4208, More Musical Landscapes

New Sounds | Jan 10, 2020

Hear more musical landscapes for this New Sounds with works by New York-based Lithuanian composer Zibuokle Martinaityte, Breton composer Yann Tiersen, and English composer Pete M. Wyer.

Hear an audio-visual novella inspired by the cathedral of Notre Dame – not the building itself, but its reflections in puddles around it from New York-based Lithuanian composer Zibuokle Martinaityte. 
From her new album In Search of Lost Beauty, listen to one portion of this long-form work for piano trio, electronics, and video projections that creates its own sonic landscape.

Also, listen to solo piano and natural sounds in music from Brittany, France, by composer Yann Tiersen, which uses field recordings of the land, the birds, and the sea of Ushant, the island located off of the west coast of Brittany in the Celtic Sea.  Listen to a “Landscape Study” by drummer and composer Qasim Naqvi (of Dawn of Midi) for three slightly out-of-tune guitars, vinyl record static and grand piano.

There’s a work for flute and electronics, “In a Winter Landscape” by Madelyn Byrne, a electro-acoustic composer and professor of music at Palomar College. Then, hear new music for guitar for “The Great Star-Filled Sky” by Pete M. Wyer, a composer and musician from England. Plus, a work by John Cage for solo piano, “In a Landscape.”  - Caryn Havlik
