Text about the program:

“Sunday night Flotation Device dives into Georg Friedrich Haas’s Second Violin Concerto in its premiere recording by Miranda Cuckson, comparing its visceral microtonality to the whispery shimmers of Osvaldo Coluccino’s new portrait album and the austere narrow path espoused by Younghi Pagh-Paan’s gripping music in honor of her 80th birthday. Plus, John Zorn channels his inner Coltrane in a new duet with Dave Lombardo, while Stefano Gervasoni and Nina C. Young send prerecorded memories through loudspeakers mounted to a piano soundboard and a snare drum head.

Brandon Ross and Stomu Takeishi reconvene for their first duet album in over a decade, while Laetitia Sonami recalls her groundbreaking live electronic performances in a new retrospective album. Heinz Holliger writes for solo violin, while Raven Chacon joins with John Dieterich and Marshall Trammell for a curious blend of rock, free improv and loop music. We’ll continue our walk down Frederic Rzewski’s The Road in its first complete recording, while honoring the 50th anniversary of a work he premiered in November 1975: Giacinto Scelsi’s Tao- and tantric-informed piano suite Ttai, whose obsession with individual sounds and gestures we’ll relate to the focused string music in Andrew McIntosh’s new portrait album Fixations.”
