Cut and Splice III
Saturday 11 June 2005 23:00-1:00 (Radio 3)
Robert Worby introduces the last programme from the recent Cut and Splice Festival in London, including music by German laptop generation composers associated with the Raster-Noton CD label: Frank Bretschneider, Olaf Bender (aka Byetone) and Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto).
Their music is a minimalist abstraction of dance music, while veteran Japanese composer Yasunao Tone comes from the Fluxus movement, and has long used indeterminate methods.
He premieres Paramedia Music, a new work in which sound is sculpted by the movement of a calligraphy brush. And John Cage is featured with a pioneering early 4-channel tape collage piece, Williams Mix.
