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.
Clashing cultures
Clashing cultures take the spotlight on this week’s Flotation Device, with Balkan bagpipes driving Downtown fusion, Balinese gamelans accompanying string quartets, and Jakarta street synths backing saxophones. We continue our exploration of EunHo Chang’s new album wherein traditional Korean instruments and voices coexist with sounds more reminiscent of Boulez and Donna Summer. We take our first dive into major new orchestral works by Liza Lim (honoring three famous mythic females) and Tyondai Braxton (deploying real instruments to evoke the sound world of sampled instruments). Plus, we celebrate the 50th birthdays of a Rzewski minimalist landmark, a lost Sun Ra album, a torrential Nancarrow player piano study, and KBCS itself—who we genuinely hope you’ll support through our Spring Fund Drive!
