#3106: New Works for Cello

New Sounds | Aug 24, 2010

This New Sounds brings us something from cellists Zoe Keating, Erik Friedlander, and Brent Arnold.   The San Francisco-based Keating loops layers upon layers of cello to create her own one-woman orchestra.  We'll hear from her latest, "Into the Trees." 

We'll also sample from Erik Friedlander's latest digital release, "Alchemy," a vast tapestry of scraping, plucking and bowing.  Also, there's music by the songwriting cellist, former Seattlist Brent Arnold, from his album of lonely gems, "An Albatross and a Half."  Plus, Ralph Stanley sings the old hymn "Jacob's Vision" on cellist Dave Eggar's new album, "Kingston Morning," and more.

PROGRAM #3106, All Cellos, Almost All of the Time    (First aired on 8/24/2010)
