#3137: Music With “Found Sound”
For this New Sounds, listen to some music with found sound. We'll hear Steve Reich's City Life which uses conversation, sirens, boat horns, traffic, and in the final movement, some of the emergency response from the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.
There's also music by John Adams, his "Christian Zeal and Activity" in which the conductor is supposed to place "sonic found objects" into the composition; Edo de Waart chose to add spliced and looped recording of a 1971 sermon. More found sounds mix with dreamlike, drifting, and dismembered voices in music from Peter Gordon & David Cunningham. Plus, music from the creative and quirky duo, the Books, and most likely something by O+A.
