Program 611: Composer Submissions

KALW Broadcast Date: July 31, 2020 | Host: Liam Herb

On this Music from Other Minds program, Liam Herb featured music submitted by composers from around the globe. The program is composed of works by Jay Williams (GA), Bruno Liberda (Austria), Stephen Ruppenthal (CA), Michael Pisaro (CA), Orlando Jacinto Garcia (FL), Alvin Curran (Rome), Robert Worby (UK), and Stéphane Borrel (France).

This was such a special program for me to produce. I was completely blown away at the number of composers who contacted me and the quality of the work that I was sent. By no means was two hours enough time to do justice to even a fraction of the work I was sent but below you’ll find my best attempt. Thanks to everyone who submitted! -Liam Herb
