Music From Other Minds is a radio program of art music by living composers from the folks behind the other minds festival.

I'm listening to the Santa Ratniece piece. Right at the beginning as Charles Amirkhanian introduces himself in a whisper, he sounded just like the Central Scrutinizer so needless to say actually I was a bit let down by the Latvian church music that followed. What is it with Baltic composers and Gregorian chants? Arvo Pärt, the Estonian composer, is also heavily influenced by this.

The good folks of Other Minds have been loading the collection onto the Internet Archive to serve them through their site, so they can be seen there as well. Laurie Anderson Launch party for O Superman and Walk the Dog, with early interview of Bob George (starts at 17:00 minutes) that went on to build the amazing Archive of Contemporary Music with his winnings.

Thanks for this - I've been working my way through the Other Minds Archive for a while now, but wasn't aware of this show. Listening now to the "November Music" show, and it's helping me to get some writing done.
