#2211: Program #2211

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Spooky stuff is in store on this New Sounds program. Hear an hour of musical ghost stories for the campfire, featuring portraits of vampires, devilish hauntings, and spiritual encounters. There’s music from Gary Lucas’ uncanny score for the silent film “The Golem”, “The Vampire’s Ball”, an eerie song by Iva Bittova, and Phil Kline’s “Premonition”, a work for 25 boombox tape players. Plus, hear Byrne and Eno’s “The Jezebel Spirit”, and more ghoulish fare.
