Flotation Device celebrates its 25th birthday with a grand reunion of current hosts Michael Schell and John Seman, plus Christopher DeLaurenti (who hosted the program in its first decade) and Jonathan Lawson (who inaugurated it in July 2001 on 91.3 KBCS Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma which remains its broadcast home today). Together we honor some of the guiding angels who've inspired us since the show's inception, including Alice Coltrane, William Parker, John Zorn, Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster and Giacinto Scelsi. We’ll also hear from younger proponents of intentional and improvised music, including Ellen Fullman, Theresa Wong, Beatriz Ferreyra, Susan Stone, Visible Cloaks, Cheval de Frise, KMRU and Utterance Tongue. And we’ll honor the 70th birthday of Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon with a sampling of his classic postminimalist and more recent sound cloud compositions. Join us for this very special commemorative episode of Flotation Device!
