#2219: Electroacoustic Music

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Experience the shimmering crystal textures of rolling soundscape from the “recovering rock drummer” and Alaska-based composer John Luther Adams. Hear his 2002 piece “Red Arc / Blue Veil” for piano, mallet percussion and processed sounds on this edition of New Sounds. Then, listen for the highly processed sounds of the San Francisco bay blended with foghorns and a brass sextet in Ingram Marshall’s work “Fog Tropes.” Rounding out the show is a work by composer and shakuhachi student Francis White, who also creates for instruments and tape.
