Music
With Michael Schell
Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell. Seattle’s finest and longest-running radio program devoted to the musical avant-garde.
John Luther Adams at 70
Flotation Device celebrates Seattle favorite John Luther Adams for his 70th birthday with a mini-retrospective of his pre-, mid- and post-Alaska years, plus a sneak peek at a forthcoming premiere recording in which he endeavors to turn his previous orchestral writing “up to 11”.
Also on the agenda: Annea Lockwood dances with insects, Gerald Barry gets minimal, and Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand (with our former host John Seman) goes punk. We’ve got new improv from Shelley Hirsch, Rick Countryman and friends, a historical item featuring Anthony Braxton on clarinet, and a harpsichord piece by Adams’ New Mexico neighbor Karola Obermüller. The premiere recording of a late Wuorinen piano work, and a heterostatic chamber piece by Charles Uzor that recalls Adams’ and James Tenney’s concept of ergodic form, round out the playlist. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell.
