Description
Radical new storytelling is the theme of this episode, as we discover new recordings by Olga Neuwirth, Luong Hue Trinh, Vykintas Baltakas, Lucy Liyou and DIVISI 62 that play in the border regions between postmodern music and radio drama. We also preview the new Patricia Kopatchinskaja album that juxtaposes Vivaldi with contemporary Italian miniatures for violin and baroque instruments. We honor the birthdays of Arvo Part (85) and Annie Gosfield (60), check in on the 639-year performance of John Cage's Organ²/ASLSP at Burchardikloster, Germany, and continue our recent Scelsi Revisited motif by marking the 50th anniversary of his great compositions Konx-om-pax, deeply influenced by Tibetan chant. New tracks from ambient guru Jon Hassell, Eivind Opsvik, Bill Nace, Thomas Meadowcroft, the Noise Discord community and The Bastard Kings of Samadhi round out the playlist.
