#3124: Narration in Music
For this New Sounds, listen to the found sounds of narration from strange and wonderful recordings in music by the Books. We'll hear from their latest, "The Way Out," a playful and surreal effort recorded in the Books' home studios.
Also on the show, listen to music from pianist/composer Vijay Iyer and poet/performer Mike Ladd, from a narrative work, "In What Language?" a hybrid project featuring an eleven-piece ensemble of musicians and speaking voices. Plus, music from Pete M. Wyer, Michael Nyman, and more.
