Flotation Device 2022-10-30 - The Lady and the Unicorn

Enrico Chapela joins Flotation Device to discuss contemporary Mexican music in the 21st century, including his new electric violin concerto written for Pekka Kuusisto and Seattle Symphony. Plus we peek at Björk and Keith Jarrett's modernist side via new recordings, and sample the latest from avant-cellist (and Nirvana alum) Lori Goldston. We'll relate Timucin Sahin’s new album to Harriet Tubman the Band, and the Chilean trio Nichunimu to Don Cherry and Jon Appleton’s classic cornet+synth experiments. And we'll close with gripping, drony longform works by Éliane Radigue and Kaija Saariaho (the latter featuring an obscure ambient work that's not otherwise available to stream).

Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world, with host Michael Schell. Annotated playlist and photo credits in the Comments section.
