Music
Hear music by Australian-born, London-based electroacoustic musician & sound artist Leah Kardos along with music by Irish woodwind player and composer Seán Mac Erlaine, as well as other electroacoustic music on this New Sounds. Listen to several works by Kardos from a sampler released in 2014, including her work, “Butterfly Kite,”written for easy piano + delay/verb effects. Then hear improvised woodwind and electronic sounds from a series of live recordings by the Dublin musician, Seán Mac Erlaine. From his, “A Slender Song,” hear music for clarinets of all sorts and sizes, manipulated by electronics. Then, hear music from a dance score by London-based composer Jon Opstad, who also did the music for the provocative British episodic series, “Black Mirror.” Listen to music from cellist Julia Kent with loops and delays from the recent record, “Character.” German theremin player Carolina Eyck improvises on the low end together with pianist Christopher Tarnow. Then,hear music from NY-based singer GABI, who layers and processes her voice a la Juliana Barwick. (Caution: her work, "Where," might remind you of “The Rains of Castamere.”) PROGRAM #3706–Various Forms of Electro-acoustic Music (First aired on 03/24/2015) ARTIST(S) RECORDING CUT(S) SOURCE Carolina Eyck & Christopher Tarnow Improvisations for Theremin and Piano Haunted Ballerina, excerpt [1:00] Butterscotch Recordsbutterscotchrecords.net Leah Kardos Spring 2014 Sampler Butterfly Kite [3:15] bigoandtwigetti.bandcamp.com Jon Opstad Ignis Ignis, Part III [2:55] Ignis, part IV [5:51] jonopstad.bandcamp.com OR soundcloud OR Emusic.com Seán Mac Erlaine A Slender Song All sung a Slender Song [3:29] ergodos.ie Leah Kardos Spring 2014 Sampler Preen [3:19] See above.
