New Sounds | May 24, 2010
When you force air through a tube, sound results – whether that tube is an Australian didjeridoo, a length of plastic hose, a toy whirly, or the human throat. Each gets a workout on this New Sounds program in pieces by Michael Fahres, Wendy Mae Chambers, Sarah Hopkins, and Nick Didkovsky.
