Coming up next : 189 : September 4, 2009
We’re back producing another season of radio programs for KALW. The first new program is this Friday, Sept. 4, and it will feature The Minimal Piano: Piano music by David Toub and Ann Southam.
These are solo piano pieces like you’ve never heard before, and I’m really jazzed about being able to present their music.
David Toub’s TEXTBOOK, completed in 1987 but realized in 2006 by Steve Layton from Toub’s MIDI score, reminds you of Philip Glass, but without the romanticism. We’ll hear three sections from this 2 hour piece.
Then there’s Canadian composer Ann Southam’s pieces invoking the sounds rivers and creeks, recently released on Centredisques.
In the coming weeks we’ll also be presenting music freely influenced by Balinese music, primarily by Colin McPhee and Evan Ziporyn, as a backdrop to the Cal Performances premiere of Ziporyn’s A HOUSE IN BALI (see post below) later in the month.
Here’s the 30″ spot announcement for Friday’s program. The program will be available for streaming from the MFOM website after broadcast. Hope you can catch it.
