American Highways

Study no. AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #30: Music and Machines

In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us music and machines : ‘I’ve always been fascinated by the mechanical aspects of music, and this episode gives me a chance to delve into player pianos and their music – from Gershwin to Nancarrow.’ Plus, music by (naturally) George Antheil, and John Adams, not to mention David Lang and Bang on a Can.
