Episode Twenty One – Kyle Gann
For those of us who were participants in and/or avid listeners to “new” and “experimental” music in the mid-to-late 20th century, Kyle Gann’s name is resonant with the history of the musical arts during those extraordinary years. He is a writer, educator and composer. As a columnist/critic for the Village Voice he documented the work of musical artists in New York City who were part of what became known as “Downtown Music.” He has written seven books and many articles on the music of composers and 20th century styles. As an educator he has been on the faculties at Bucknell University and Bard College. As a composer he has created a large body of work for ensembles, soloists and orchestral/chamber orchestras. In this episode we will discuss and listen to two of those works written or adapted for the Relache Ensemble. “Hesapa Ki Lakhota Ki Thawapi” is bases on a Lakhota flag song for flute, soprano saxophone, synthesizer and percussion. It was recorded in 1997 on Monroe Street Music. Movements 1 “Sun” and 2 “Venus” from “The Planets,” was written for the Relache Ensemble between 1994 and 2008. It was recorded in 2010 on the Meyer Media label. For more information about Kyle Gann, visit his website at http://www.kylegann.com.
