This month we will listen to two new instrumental pieces by Paweł Siek for instruments, vacuum cleaners, and others. A small lesson on synthesis and the complexities of sound with Francesc Llompart, and a Protest Ballad by Kristen Warren. The Cutty Strange unveils a new and fresh format, starting November 2015. Programs will be made up of pieces by musicians, storytellers, poets, sound artists, and others. These commissioned works aim to bring new light to the broadcast art medium. In its first season, archived here, the show featured full episodes of select San Francisco Bay Area artists who shared their music, methods and stories.
