#3197: Electroacoustic Blends
For this New Sounds, we’ll hear three recordings that feature a blend of acoustic instruments and electronic processing. From a score to the new film by Bill Morrison, “The Miners’ Hymns,” listen to organ, brass ensemble, and electronics, by the master of mixing electronic and acoustic sounds - Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Also, from the Alaska- based composer, John Luther Adams, there’s a piece for piano and mallet percussion together with the electronically processed and ghostly sounds of both, “Four Thousand Holes.” Plus, from the three-way collaboration between Finnish accordion virtuoso Kimmo Pohjonen, Finnish producer/percussionist/electrickery specialist Samuli Kosminen and Kronos Quartet, listen to a huge panoramic canvas of effects, accordion and strings in the work “Uniko.”
