Because of you, the campaign to Save New Sounds has in fact saved New Sounds. The show will go on! Thank you, and see you on radio!

Hear some of the musical signposts of New Sounds: David Hykes' overtone singing; Ethiojazz; the first Bang on a Can marathon; the post-rock chamber group Rachel’s; and Afrofuturist folk.

Influential composer, Pulitzer Prize-winner, and New Yorker Steve Reich reflects on six decades: from early musical signposts to setting Hebrew texts, on the release of a new boxed set. 

Hear music by singer/composers who draw on folk traditions: Akkajee (Finland); Hysterrae (Italy and Iran); and/or medieval music: Hatis Noit (Japan); and Meredith Monk (USA); and more.

Behold drum-centric music from Ezra Collective led by Femi Koleoso, Dave Lombardo's solo album, Valentina Magaletti (Holy Tongue), tabla master Zakir Hussain, Marcus Gilmore, and others.

Guitarist, composer, and improviser Bill Orcutt uses only four strings to shape his lyrical, stabby, and pattern-leaning compositions. He muses about his work, for this New Sounds show.

Hear music from Pakistan and Northern India; and by musicians from throughout the diaspora, including from the three-part collaboration Junun, NY-based Red Baraat with CSG, and others.

Hear music by guitarist/composer Kim Myhr, guitarist and composer Terje Rypdal, Sámi singer Marja Mortensson, bass trumpet/tuba player Daniel Herskedal, and doom-jazz trio Splashgirl.
