May 21, 2023 10:00 PM – 12:00 AM
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.
Glass, Reich & Wang
Memories and minimalism are the main themes on this episode of Flotation Device. We celebrate the 50th anniversaries of three minimalist landmarks—two by Steve Reich and one by Philip Glass—contemplating the influence of Ewe drumming on the former, and verbal misunderstandings on the latter. We also preview Wang Lu’s June 3 appearance with Seattle Modern Orchestra via an exclusive interview and a survey of her nostalgic and eclectic music. New works by Yikii, Thomas Adès, Enno Poppe and Todd Sickafoose, plus the return of John Zorn’s Masada after a 15-year hiatus, round out a unique and memorable show.
