Description
Second half of the preview show focusing on the upcoming 8th Other Minds Festival. Hosted by Charles Amirkhanian on KPFA-FM, February 17, 2002 from 6:30-9:00pm. Amirkhanian and Richard Friedman continue to plug the festival and its participants. They discuss the work of Ellen Fullman and her long string instrument which will be featured in the festival’s third and final concert on March 9th 2002. After playing a selection by the Deep Listening Band with Pauline Oliveros (also a featured composer of OM 8) and Ellen Fullman, Amirkhanian and Friedman are joined by former KCRW radio host Harry Bernstein. The three discuss the current state of radio, and its lack of adventurous programming for fear of compromising commercial profit. Bernstein talks a little about the work of Randy Weston before playing a selection from his album Khepera. Weston was also another composer in the upcoming OM 8 lineup. After playing an unusually “commercial” commercial for Other Minds 8, the program closes with a track from 1955 by the Randy Weston Trio. Several programming announcements and the beginning of the show Earth Sounds are also heard.
