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.
Scott Johnson (1952–2023)
Flotation Device bids farewell to Scott Johnson with a look back at his signature speech melody technique showcased in his breakout piece John Somebody and his magnum opus Mind Out of Matter.
We also preview Caroline Shaw’s upcoming Seattle appearance, wish Chen Yi a happy 70th birthday, and revisit two avant-garde gems—a late work by Maderna and an early one by Murail—celebrating their 50th anniversaries. Plus, new recordings by Ivan Fedele, Cheer-Accident, Barre Phillips with György Kurtág Jr., and David Lang demonstrating his trademark style of postminimalism based on near—not exact—repetition.
