Flotation Device 2021-11-28 - When the past was still present

Flotation Device explores new tracks from Fred Frith and Wayne Horvitz, their old bandleader John Zorn, guitar orchestra enthusiast Adam Rudolph, harpsichord evangelist Luca Quintavalle, and the doyenne of acousmatic music—Beatriz Ferreyra—exploring the unique instruments of the Baschet brothers. Plus, Eve Beglarian sets Brendan Constantine, Martin Bresnick channels Aldo Parisot, Alex Zethson mixes rock and minimalism, and an orchestral gem by Grażyna Bacewicz gets its first recording. A free jazz classic featuring Joe McPhee on trumpet AND sax that’s celebrating its 50th birthday rounds out the playlist.
