Flotation Device 2024-02-04 - Dogon A.D. and its progeny

Julius Hemphill takes the spotlight as his signature tune Dogon A.D. shows its influence in several new recordings of creative music. Simeon ten Holt, whose career arc bent more toward minimalism, also gets some retrospective attention via a new recording of his complete piano works, including several premiere recordings as well as his famous Canto Ostinato.

We also preview a Randall Woolf premiere, sample avant-rock from Christopher Hoffman, and tour the world with Osnat Netzer, Adam Rudolph, Joao Lencastre, Cergio Prudencio and Yikii. Our 50 years ago in the avant-garde feature espies Ginastera channeling his inner Schoenberg, while Julia Purgina channels Bacon, Muybridge and Messiaen.

Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell, Sunday nights, 10pm to Midnight Pacific Time on 91.3 KBCS Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma. Annotated playlist and photo credits with Comments.
