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.
Dai Fujikura interviewed
Composer Dai Fujikura joins us to talk about his upcoming premiere with Seattle Symphony. Dai’s career journey from Osaka to London, his musical influences (which range from Darmstadt avant-gardists to Sibelius and the soundtrack to Alien 3), and his new album of improvised music are among the topics we’ll discuss.
Plus, we’ve got free improv from Portugal, France and New York, subversive opera from Iran, radical organ music from Austria and Alvin Lucier, and a sampling from the latest batch of John Zorn’s Bagatelles. We also observe the centenary of beloved composer and teacher Ursula Mamlok, and the golden anniversaries of Elliott Carter’s formidable Third String Quartet and Ornette Coleman’s lone foray into North African cross-culturalism.
