Neue Musik von den vermeintlichen Rändern der Welt

Podcast
by Thomas Burkhalter

Von Delhi bis Tijuana, Beirut bis Johannesburg verarbeiten Musikerinnen, Komponisten und Soundkünstler lokale und globale Einflüsse zu eigenständiger Musik und eigenwilligen Soundscapes. Wir hören: Avantgardistische Formen fernab von Ost-West-Klischees; den Lärm von Weltpolitik, Propaganda und Krieg; und gesellschaftskritische urbane Sounds am Puls der Zeit. Die McWorld hat längst ihre kreativen Gegenspieler. Ein kommentierter Hörtrip.

Von Thomas Burkhalter. Sprecher: Stephan Mester
