A Different Nature

RADIO: Happy Birthday Zeena Parkins.

Monday 20 July, 8:00 – 10:00 pm (PDT) at 90.7 and streaming at kboo.fm.

A Different Nature will present a two-hour special on the music of harpist and composer Zeena Parkins. Parkins loves to experiment with harps, electric harps, detuned harps, and weirdly distorted processed harps. She is a fervent collaborator and composer and works with the whole, as they say, “loisaida gang” in New York. You’ll hear them all. Enjoy forty years and more of Zeena’s music, and as is rarely said regarding the harp as an instrument, it’s going to be loud.

Monday 29 June, 8:00 - 10:00 pm (PDT) at 90.7 and streaming at kboo.fm:

New releases from Canadian artists featuring Meredith Bates, Ida Toninato, Jennifer Thiessen, Allison Cameron, and Sarah Page. Part two of the program will feature electronic piano, synthesizer, and neo-baroque compositions by Carolyn Yarnell plus a few short interludes by Catherine Lamb. Unfamiliar artists you say? Well then, tune in and enjoy the show.
