The things that musique concrete has brought into compositional thinking and that are very much associated with the conceptual world of radio are things I final very appealing: the notion of building what you might call abstract sound stories in which there is enough room for the audience to listen actively and for each listener to be able to enter the sound story for himself, to establish an internal dialogue with it.
John Cage will be revisited; Stockhausen revered; musique concrete, a form of electroacoustic music, revived; Dick Raaijmakers celebrated; Sun Ra, the controversial jazz giant, remembered.
Bimstein: First of all, I do remember, even before I became aware of John Cage and others like him -- and I don't think I was even aware of electronic music or musique concrete or any of that stuff yet, but I had a tape recorder, and I loved to record sounds like, say, rushing water, a horn from a hockey game, or even a flushing toilet.
