#3248: Beat It
Hear some percussion-centered works on this New Sounds show. There's the Los Angeles-based Ironworks Percussion Duo playing a work for vibraphone and steel drum by Missy Mazzoli. We'll also hear music by composer and steel pan virtuoso Andy Akiho, along with something from bagpiper/composer Matthew Welch's band Blarvuster, an outfit that somehow pulls in Balinese/Indonesian gamelan, Celtic influences, & minimalist licks.
Also, a 25-year old recording of music by Eric Stokes, performed by Zeitgeist from our WNYC studios, and perhaps a sample from the new So Percussion release featuring works by Steven Mackey as well.
