Massed Tablas, Throbbing Gristle and Prepared Piano

Max Reinhardt shares Throbbing Gristle’s ‘final’ live performance of 1981, an array of massed tablas from Toronto, and some classic Cage prepared piano courtesy of Julie Steinberg.

Max Reinhardt presents a shimmering array of massed tablas – Ritesh Das’s Toronto Tabla Ensemble – which meets an excoriating glimpse of the ‘final’ live performance by Throbbing Gristle at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park in 1981 (the quartet would ultimately reform in 2004).

Plus, John Cage’s “Gemini” variations for prepared piano in a classic recording by Julie Steinberg.

Produced by Steven Rajam for Reduced Listening.
