For this New Sounds, we’ll experience some sonic and at times, spiritual atmospheres, including ambient music, and other works that might invoke the “m” word – “minimalism.”   From Estonian composer Arvo Pärt [http://www.wnyc.org/people/r/?n=Arvo+P%C3%A4rt], we’ll hear some spiritually cast works, sometimes labeled (much to Pärt’s dislike of the term) “holy minimalism.” Listen to his atmospheric and soaring “Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten, from a new recording by Canadian violinist Angèle Dubeau [http://www.wnyc.org/people/r/?n=Ang%C3%A8le+Dubeau]& the 12-woman (11 strings, 1 piano) ensemble La Pietà [http://www.wnyc.org/people/r/?n=La+Piet%C3%A0].  Plus, there’s ambient music by Brian Eno [http://www.wnyc.org/people/r/?n=Brian+Eno], his landmark “Music for Airports,” in which he takes the soulless sterile feeling of an airport and works it over.   Also on the show, exploring that middle ground between Pärt and Eno is music by Kevin Keller [http://www.wnyc.org/people/r/?n=Kevin+Keller] , which might have echoes of minimalism and the sense of spirit.  We’ll hear his “In Absentia,” written after his father-in-law's disappearance on a hunting trip.
