Listen to nocturnal music inspired by Indian ragas, and especially inspired by bansuri flute from composer Jacob TV for Laura Lentz, percussionist Sameer Gupta, and others. Hear a raga meant for an imaginary instrument by Dutch ‘avant pop’ composer JacobTV (Jacob ter Veldhuis), as recorded by east coast-based flutist, bandleader, and educator Laura Lentz. Then, listen to a late-night spoken-word raga of a sort from tabla player, drummer, and producer Sameer Gupta, who has assembled the sampled sounds of sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov and bansuri flute master Hariprasad Chaurasia, together with percussion. Also hear a recording of bansuri flute raga by North Indian Bamboo Flute Master Hariprasad Chaurasia. Plus, listen to Indian bansuri flute music from Stephen Coughlin, who later adopted the Sufi name of Huzur Nawaz, and released recordings under that name, and more. - Caryn Havlik Program #4738, Raga-Inspired Music For Flute (First aired 4/10/23) ARTIST: Hariprasad ChaurasiaWORK: Rag Kaunsi Kanhra [1:10]RECORDING: Raga Kaunsi KanhraSOURCE: Nimbus RecordsINFO: Available at Amazon.com, Youtube, AppleMusic, Spotify ARTIST: Laura LentzWORK: Jacob TV: Pale Moon in a Very Blue Sky [11:08]RECORDING: Jacob's TriptychSOURCE/INFO: lauralentz.bandcamp.com ARTIST: Stephen Coughlin (Huzur Nawaz)WORK: Night Music [6:31]RECORDING: Night MusicSOURCE: Private recording/ this performance not commercially available.INFO: Coughlin as Huzur Nawaz has released Presence.
