Program 788: Force of Nature
KALW Broadcast Date: June 9, 2024 | Host: Joseph Bohigian
This program features music inspired by natural forces: the wind, quantum physics, and the sounds of the natural world. Christopher Cerrone’s Beaufort Scales channels varied levels of wind intensity, while Cheryl E. Leonard’s Greater than 20 Knots captures the power of Antarctic winds. Field recordings duet with human performers in Giacomo Fiore’s Lost Horse Wash Drone, recorded at Joshua Tree National Park, and Karen Power’s loved bees and Amazonian frogs with recordings from Ireland and Peru. Closing the program is Waves and Particles by John Luther Adams, a piece inspired by quantum physics, fractal geometry, and noise.
