The December & January Eyedrum Podcasts are ready to download.
January: In a special edition of this show, this month we featured the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen, a pioneer of avant-garde composition who passed away in December. In-studio guests Stuart Gerber and Chris Swartz brought their Stockhausen collections and knowledge and helped put together a great show reviewing the career of this iconic figure in modern music. Towards the end of the show we also played music by Kinan, Zentropy, Laromlab and Speechless.
December: Lots of long jazz pieces in this month's show. We opened with Victor B. Bicycle and Colin Bragg recordings from Nov 2nd's Film Love Festival; followed with several live performances by Roger Ruzow and the Atlanta Fourth Ward Improv Ensemble. We played some really great free jazz by Wick / Radding / Greenwald and then some atmospheric electronics by Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel; both ensembles will be playing at Eyedrum on Tue Dec 4th. You'll also hear the Plastic People Of The Universe (played Sep 19th), the Vandermark 5 (most members of which are appearing at Eyedrum as The Engines on Dec 15th), Kevin Dunn and King Rat. We finished off with an excerpt from the most recent monthly Open Improv.
