In his Composition 1960 #10, La Monte Young asks us to “Draw a straight line and follow it”, Georgia O’Keeffe asks us ‘fill a space in a beautiful way’. On this episode of A Curious Ear, we will Draw an Imaginary Shape with the eponymous work by Michael Baum, alongside music and sound art by Judith Hamann, Felicia Atkinson, flautist Claire Chase, and Tom Soloveitzik & Microcanonical ensemble.
Our May 2025 episode brings together drone, ambient, classic minimalism, and field recordings.
