Is Klein becoming an avant-gardist? Is Tristan Murail mellowing out? How is the late Philip Jeck's influence manifest in American turntablism? Find out in our new podcast, featuring a cascade of new releases that presents a broad cross-section of today’s avant-garde, including Northwest noise, Ukrainian avant-electronica, spring auguries from Matt Haimovitz, and minimalism from Tom Johnson and Quatuor Bozzini. Plus, Kate Soper and Sam Pluta skirt the border between audio drama and vocal music, Uwalmassa mashes gamelans and electronics, Jannik Giger imitates an orchestra imitating a sampler, and Jaimie Branch and David Murray take a business trip to Switzerland. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and beyond with host Michael Schell.
