John Howell Morrison / Helmut Lachenmann

Episode 14: String Obliteration and Some Weird Mouth Sounds

The guys change things up and bring in something they assume the other one would like.  Josh presents something with electronics from one of his mentors which he thinks frightens children and Jon doesn’t think he understood the assignment.

Featuring performances of John Howell Morrison’s Hard Weather Makes Good Wood by the Intergalactic Contemporary Ensemble and Helmut Lachenmann’s Consolation II by the Klangforum Wien.

Check out the performances featured on the episode as well as other works by Lachenmann Jon talks about to celebrate the composer’s 90th birthday!
