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.
Rites of spring
The full stylistic and geographical range of contemporary Western art music is on display in this edition of Flotation Device, with Bolivian chill, British minimalism and Indonesian acousmatica in the spotlight. Enjoy new orchestral works by Tyondai Braxton and Martin Stauning, a John Zorn miniature for acoustic guitars, plus fresh improv tracks from Illegal Crowns, Kaze (with guest Ikue Mori), Scott Fields (channeling Butch Morris) and Eva Novoa. A young Manchurian electronicist might remind you of Björk, while our 50 years ago in the avant-garde feature reminds us of the 1973 American zeitgeist that spawned hip-hop, speech synthesis, lexical music, talking percussionists, and a pair of works by Lou Harrison and Éliane Radigue that debuted in California on successive days. Also originating in 1973 was KBCS, whose Spring Fund Drive is upon us. The pandemic-era economy has been tough for many of our listeners, which directly impacts our favorite independent Northwest radio station, which receives 80% of its funding from individual contributors. If you have the means, we'd sure be grateful if you'd browse to https://KBCS.FM and click on the vaunted green Donate button. Any amount helps keep Flotation Device, and plenty of other unique music programs, on the air!
