#3094: With Composer/Guitarist John Schneider
Composer/guitarist John Schneider brings his microtonal guitars into the studio, to play his “Tombeau for Lou Harrison,” on this New Sounds. Also, there's music by Lou Harrison for just intonation guitar, inspired by the Baroque era.
Plus, listen to speech-based music by composer Ben Johnston. Johnston's work, "Tavern" is taken from texts by Rumi, and uses the outer limits of guitar tuning. It actually took over 12 years for Schnieder to learn to both tune the guitar, and to sing in microtonal counterpoint in opposite directions to what he plays on the guitar. That, and more.
