#3858: Collaborative Works (Special Podcast)
Hear collaborative works of all kinds for this New Sounds, from string quartet to chamber ensemble; from piano duet to guitar music with electronics.
Listen to a work, "Trying to Speak," by New York guitarist and composer Kaki King, in collaboration with the string quartet ETHEL, from King's multimedia masterpiece “The Neck is a Bridge to the Body.” When she performs the work live, images are projected onto the body of her custom guitar, while she works her finger-style virtuosic magic.
Then, hear shimmering music from New York composer Chris Cerrone, in collaboration with the Chicago-based ensemble, Eighth Blackbird. From their recent record, "Hand Eye," Cerrone's work, "South Catalina" piano, clarinet, and percussion provide stately chords augmented by a flurry of violin, cello, & flute. Also, listen to a 20-fingered collaboration, ZOFO, performing music by Terry Riley.
There's also collaborative music featuring the Berlin Guitar Ensemble and the Argentine-born, now Berlin-based audio artist and producer, Andrés Jankowski. A.K.A. 1605munro, and more.
