Selections from the Other Minds Archives

Matt Nida What a wonderful Christmas present. The OM archive is an almost overwhelming collection of treasures, and this is like the “daily desk calendar” version - track after track of intriguing ideas, hot takes and digested wisdom from some of the most amazing minds of the last century. I’d 100% pay for a daily podcast that dropped one of these pearls every day. A fabulous unexpected treat!

Rod Stasick Nice variety, but sad to see that Jerry Hunt wasn't included.

about

The Other Minds Archives contain recordings of interviews, documentaries, panel discussions, and performances of innovative contemporary music, as well as spoken word and conceptual art. These were gathered from a variety of sources, most importantly from the Music Department of KPFA-FM Radio, the listener-sponsored Pacifica Foundation station (1949-1995) and from concerts produced by Other Minds (1993-present). The various collections present a West Coast perspective on national and international developments in new music, following changes in styles and instrumental resources through the 20th and 21st Centuries.

This sampler features excerpts from selected programs available for free listening at archives.otherminds.org as a free digital download.

My favorite track on this album is the one I'm currently listening to, but I will say this movement of the string quartet caught my ear, the string timbres, the pitch and rhythm content and the expressive affect. Bruce Reinoso
