More Mariëtte Groot (Worm Rotterdam)

Laurie Spiegel. Laurie Spiegel, pioneer in the electronic music in the US, was away from obscurity for a little through this overview of her work from the 70s and 80s under the title ‘Obsolete Systems’. With analogous systems like the Buchla 100, tape, Echoplex and the Groove Hybrid System from Bell Lab, she made intriguing and hypnotising pieces that expressed the unique character of each instrument. ‘Obsolete Systems’ is about these instruments that raised amazement and confusion in the time of their introductions.

Fire works: Rhys Chatham and more. Recently, we gently slipped into 2009.. although, gently? A suited selection of music to usher in the first days of 2009: ‘Die Donnergötter’ by Rhys Chatham, the ensemble ‘Bang on a Can’, buddhistic ritual music from Tibet, and to conclude a symphony of ship’s horns and church bells from the port of Montréal, Canada.

The Concertzender 25: Music of 1983. Tonight we celebrate the Concertzender anniversary by commemorating the year 1983 in various ways. What did the musical world look like in that year? For Shake, Rattle And Roll we focused on avant-garde rock for now and chose two classic albums from that genre, issued in 1983. Classic in the sense that both albums were strong and coherent from A to Z, in short both albums were and still are true gems. These gems are: Fluvial by Catherine Jauniaux, Cheap At Half The Price by Fred Frith and Les Premières Machines by Pierre Bastien.
