Hear Third Coast Percussion's new arrangement of Philip Glass' work Aguas da Amazonia; work from W4RP Trio; folk singer Sam Amidon; and Ann Arbor-based trumpeter Mark Kirschenmann. It’s the end of January, and time to sample some of the new entries into the New Sounds library. Also, Jan. 31st is Philip Glass’ birthday. Hear Third Coast Percussion’s new arrangements of Philip Glass’ work Aguas da Amazonia, scored for a collection of custom instruments, including a glass marimba, a red oak marimba, a PVC bass instrument, and more. Then, listen to flute-like trumpet playing from Ann Arbor-based composer, trumpeter, improviser, electronicist and educator Mark Kirschenmann. It’s from the record, Tonics: Seven Melodies for Trumpet With Bamboo Mouthpipe. There’s also new work from folk singer Sam Amidon; chamber-jazz by Vega Trails; and Asa Horvitz and friends render songs of grief written by an AI, with a “weird kind of poetry to it” (-Schaefer). That, and more. - Caryn Havlik Program #4973, New Releases, January 2025 (First aired 1/31/2025) ARTIST: Mark KirschenmannWORK: The Breathing Room [1:15]RECORDING: Tonics: Seven Melodies for Trumpet With Bamboo MouthpipeSOURCE: Infrequent Seams INFO: https://infrequentseams.bandcamp.com ARTIST: Third Coast PercussionWORK: Philip Glass: Madeira River, Part I [3:58]RECORDING: Third Coast Percussion: Glass - Aguas da AmazoniaSOURCE: ROCKWELL RECORDS LIMITEDINFO: https://distrokid.com/thirdcoastpercussionandphilipglass ARTIST: Third Coast PercussionWORK: Philip Glass: Madeira River, Part II [4:50]RECORDING: Third Coast Percussion: Glass - Aguas da AmazoniaSOURCE: ROCKWELL RECORDS LIMITEDINFO: https://distrokid.com/thirdcoastpercussionandphilipglass ARTIST: Mark KirschenmannWORK: The Breathing Room [7:01]RECORDING: Tonics: Seven Melodies for Trumpet With Bamboo MouthpipeSOURCE: Infrequent Seams INFO: https://infrequentseams.bandcamp.com ARTIST: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Julie Fowlis, Karine PolwartWORK: Gradh Geal Mo Chridhe [4:27]RECORDING: Looking For The ThreadSOURCE: Lambent Light RecordsINFO: https://orcd.co/mcclftt ARTIST: Sam AmidonWORK: I'm On My Journey Home [4:17]RECORDING: Salt RiverSOURCE: River Lea RecordingsINFO: https://samamidon.bandcamp.com/album/salt-river ARTIST: Asa Horvitz, Carmen Quill, Ariadne Randall, Wayne HorvitzWORK: Desire [3:56]RECORDING: GHOSTSOURCE: Celestial ExcursionsINFO: https://celestialexcursionsghost.bandcamp.com/album/ghost ARTIST: W4RP TRIOWORK: To My Momma [3:02]RECORDING: Sermon Of The MatriarKSOURCE: Phenotypic RecordingsINFO: https://www.phenotypicrecordings.com/w4rp-likwuid-sermon-of-the-matriark?ref=theneedledrop.com ARTIST: numünWORK: Flower [6:02]RECORDING: OpeningSOURCE: Centripetal Force in the Americas / wiaiwyaINFO: https://numunband.bandcamp.com/album/opening-2 ARTIST: Vega TrailsWORK: Els [3:39]RECORDING: Sierra TracksSOURCE: Gondwana RecordsINFO: https://vegatrails.bandcamp.com/album/sierra-tracks
