Flotation Device celebrates John Cage on his 109th birthday with a survey of four new albums of his music, plus new works by Wolfgang Heiniger and Satoko Fujii inspired by his Seattle-bred Imaginary Landscapes No. 1 and prepared pianos. We also enjoy fresh techno-Russian ruminations from Gabriel Prokofiev, fractured love songs from Oliver Leith, avant-rock from Mozo Mozo, memories of pre-minimalism from Daniel Goode, modulated piano pulses from Peter Van Zandt Lane, and new improv tracks from old favorites Joe McPhee and Lao Dan. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell.
