Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center

12-31-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - ”Turkish Delight”

Greetings!
The selection of the works making up a majority of today's program were inspired by my recent trip to Turkey.  You'll get a bit of a history lesson in how traditional Turkish music was integrated with Western music in the early 20th century following the Turkish War of Independence which ended in 1923 and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey which followed.  In addition, I've got some new releases thrown in for good measure.
Enjoy!

Greetings!
The first half of today's program is sort of a mish-mosh of fairly newer music, followed by a large chunk of progressive and avant-rock tunes featuring hammer and mallet percussion.
Enjoy!

12-3-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!
This week's program features some great new releases featuring Canadian related composers & musicians, including Nick Storring, Yang Chen, Yaz Lancaster & Badge Époque Ensemble.  In addition, you'll hear a set of pieces featuring a piece of flute hardware, created by flutist Robert Dick, the Glissando Headjoint.  (http://robertdick.net/the-glissando-headjoint/)
 
Dick's creation features a telescoping headjoint, with a contemporary cut silver headjoint sliding inside a carrier tube. Two “wings” extend from the lip plate and comfortably embrace the flutist’s cheeks. Moving the flute to the right slides the headjoint from its “home position” (all the way in) and extends the length of the flute, resulting in the ability to produce glissandi which can be made both to and from every note on the flute, resulting in some incredible sounds.
Enjoy!

Greetings!
The general conceit for this week is short mic breaks and longer pieces.  Between a crazed couple of weeks at work and getting ready to head off to Turkey on vacation, time constraints result in what you'll be listening to momentarily!

I thought I'd mention that in mulling over the current Twitter debacle, for the time being, Pushing The Envelope will continue it's primary presence on that site, until a viable alternative makes itself known. 
That being said, a broad range of goodies are on today's program with a highlight featuring two compositions from the Borderlands Ensemble's 2021 tour-de-force, "the space in which to see".

10-29-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Halloween Special

Greetings!
Welcome to the Halloween 2022 Edition of Pushing The Envelope, thanks to the reminder from my brother, Dan, an aficionado of all things Halloween. 
Since I sold 99% of my vinyl collection prior to moving to Maryland, I no longer have my stockpile of old spooky favorites and have perused currently available items to assemble today's program with particular new favorites being Jack Curtis Dubowski's new release, "Halloween Horror", the audience recording of John Geist's "The Music of Erich Zann" (featuring the Kronos Quartet w/ Peter Hamill) & particularly (after doing some research), the story behind "The Mummies of Cobbosseecontee" by Dreadnaught.
 
Enjoy!!

Greetings!
If you told me, a couple of weeks ago, that during the first set I'd segue from Gyorgy Ligeti to Robert Fripp based on a similar "riff", I'd have gone, "Huh?", but when I heard the opening notes from Ligeti's "Continuum", it immediately made me run for my copy of Fripp's "Exposure".  Check it out, you'll understand.
Enjoy!

Greetings!
Today's festivities include a number musique-concrète pieces with sound sources gleaned from numerous intentional and unintentional sources, including one of my own pieces gleaned from the archives. 
The tail end of the show focuses on my acquisition of a new vocabulary work, "campanology", the scientific and musical study of bells. This resulted in my selection of pieces including hand bells, gamelan & carillon. 
Enjoy!

9-24-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!
 
As I look at today's playlist, it reminds me of just how musically impressionable I am. All it takes is a minimal cue to check out new music, based on as little as a single sentence seen in a random post on my Twitter feed (i.e., the Jostaberry release) or on the other hand, how I'm perfectly happy to head down a rabbit hole based on researching the list of guest singers highlighted on the recent Badge Époque Ensemble release ("Clouds of Joy").  That was the inspiration for most of the first set.  
Enjoy!!
