Program 804: Erland Cooper's Buried Master Tape
KALW Broadcast Date: November 3, 2024 | Host: Ed Herrmann
After Erland Cooper’s Carve the Runes Then Be Content With Silence was recorded, the master tape was buried in the soil near his childhood home in Orkney, Scotland. Two years later, it was made into a CD, distortions and all. Emelie Cecilia Lebel uses an EBow to make piano strings drone in Pale Forms in Uncommon Light. She says the idea for the piece comes from seeing light patterns filter through a forest. Bart Hopkin’s new release, Audiorium showcases dozens of his invented string, wind, and percussive instruments. The program also features music by other Bay Area instrument makers, including Tom Nunn, Cheryl Leonard, and Brian Day.
