12:05 a.m.: Radio Stew: Annie Gosfield Composer Annie Gosfield often employs transmissions in her work. From Wikipedia: "Her work includes large-scale compositions, chamber music, electronic music, video projects, and music for dance. She uses traditional notation, improvisation, and extended techniques to explore a sound world that eliminates the boundaries between music and noise. Her music is often inspired by the inherent beauty of non-musical sounds, such as machines, destroyed pianos, warped 78 rpm records, and detuned radios."
