(May 2024) Episode 570 is CATHERINE LAMB, a contemporary composer of sound. Her compositions explore the harmonic spaces between conventional notes, liminal tones and textures, aural shapes. Her sheet music consists not of standard notes but of geometric shapes, not unlike those of George Crumb. It sounds like liquid mathematics, and I marvel at the vision inside Lamb’s mind. I find this music mesmerizing and fascinating.
