Notes

111 MHz: ‘There Are Easier Ways to Disappear (but I’m Only Good at This One).’ The Beirut-based composer Yara Asmar uses metallophone, synths, and accordion (with effect pedals) to create shimmering towers of sound—in the mode of modern minimalists like Harold Budd or Pauline Oliveros. From her new album, Stuttering Music. Drones with clattering percussion; a sunbeam in musical form.
