Flotation Device celebrates Terry Riley for his 90th birthday with a look at two works that deserve to be brought out of the long shadow cast by his minimalist landmark In C. We also examine new miniatures by the master of small forms (and fellow nonagenarian) György Kurtág. We mark the 80th birthday of electroacoustic guru Barry Schrader, and bid farewell to trumpeter Rob Henke with a retrospective of his long tenure with Doctor Nerve. Ikue Mori, Keith Jarrett, Fazıl Say, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Francisco Coll, Anna Webber, Broken Thoughts, Northwesterner Mara Winter and John Zorn’s Painkiller trio add further spice to this highly variegated program. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell, originally broadcast June 22, 2025. From KBCS-FM Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma.
