#2077: Program #2077

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
For this edition of New Sounds, bass flutist Matthias Ziegler (pictured) performs live in the studio, shaking and quaking the walls with low low frequencies and self-sampled accompaniment. The Swiss musician has found ways of spicing up the traditional concert flute repertoire, by overdubbing multiple flutes and using unusual miking techniques to draw out the overtones. Another instrumentalist who has broadened the expressive potential of his instrument is L. Shankar, a leading exponent of Indian classical music who, in the 1980s, commissioned the creation of the unique 10-stringed double violin. Finally, we encounter the Yugoslavian-born composer and instrumentalist Boris Kovac, whose captivating music draws on avant-rock, jazz, minimalism, and much more.
