There's music on the border between art song and pop song, electronic and acoustic, by London-based bassist Ruth Goller; Canadian cellist India Gailey, and Washington state-based violist Melia Watras. Plus, ambient soundscapes by NYC-based cellist MIZU, and ambient dreamscapes by Brooklyn-based vocalist and producer Claire Dickson. Listen to work that limns that art song/pop song divide from London-based, Italian-born composer, bassist, and vocalist Ruth Goller, from her album, SKYLLUMINA, made in collaboration with many different drummers, including British jazz drummer Mark Sanders and Berlin-based drummer Max Andrzejewski. Then, listen to Halifax-based cellist India Gailey, a composer, vocalist, and improviser who draws from many eras and genres to craft poetic narratives of sound. Hear one of the pieces of composed music written specifically for India by Tio'tia:ke/Montréal -based composer Sarah Rossy which combines influences of jazz and live-processed electronics. There’s also expansive and lush music for cello and electronics by NYC-based cellist and composer MIZU, from the album, Distant Intervals. Plus, hear music by Caroline Shaw for the vocal group Roomful of Teeth from a work setting Shakespeare’s famous words from The Tempest; work by Czech violinist/vocalist Iva Bittova; and more. - Caryn Havlik Program #4856, Songs On the Border (First aired 3/8/2024) ARTIST: Ruth GollerWORK: Reach Down into the Deepest White [1:10]RECORDING: SkylluminaSOURCE: International AnthemINFO: https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/skyllumina ARTIST: Carrie Henneman ShawWORK: Melia Watras: Weeping Pendula [6:37]RECORDING: Play/WriteSOURCE: Planet M RecordsINFO: meliawatras.com/playwrite-album ARTIST: Claire DicksonWORK: Your House [3:39]RECORDING: The BeholderSOURCE: New Amsterdam RecordsINFO: https://clairedickson.bandcamp.com/album/the-beholder ARTIST: Ruth GollerWORK: Reach Down into the Deepest White [4:27]RECORDING: SkylluminaSOURCE: International AnthemINFO: https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/skyllumina ARTIST: India GaileyWORK: Sarah Rossy: I long [6:04]RECORDING: ProblematicaSOURCE: People Places RecordsINFO: https://peopleplacesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/problematica3 ARTIST: MIZU, feat.
