Flotation Device 2026-01-04 - Out came the New Year

Flotation Device begins 2026 with a combination of old friends and new voices, with John Zorn, Kate Gentile and Matt Mitchell exploring the expansive potential of short compositions, John Bischoff exploring the musical application of short circuits, and Denis Dufour delivering avant-electronica in an ongoing series from Kairos records. Paweł Łukowiec channels Charles Ives through the Polish avant-garde, while Hannah Kendall and Dobrinka Tabakova channel vernacular instruments through more cultivated idioms. Shuying Li processes the competing postpartum emotions of joy and depression in Out Came The Sun, while Mark Feldman, Tim Daisy, Steph Richards, Marilyn Crispell, and the Zurich-based trio Les Mercenaires de l'Amour Fou demonstrate the contemporary praxis of free improvisation. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell, from 91.3 KBCS Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma. Visit us at https://linktr.ee/MichaelSchell
