A collection of highlights of my conversations from the past year, with short musical excerpts, starting with the Zach Brock episode from January and including Natalie Haas, Sara Caswell, Billy Contreras, Roberto Sierra, Diana Ladio, Danny Seidenberg, Sirius String Quartet, Tomoko Akaboshi, Mark Summer, Mia Asano, Eugene Friesen and Daniel Bernard Roumain. 

Synopsis From its founding in 1986 the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet has both commissioned new works and arranged old ones for their ensemble of four virtuoso guitarists. On today's date in 2001, the Quartet premiered a new commission, a suite of four pieces entitled Ghetto Strings, written by the Haitian-American composer Daniel Bernard Roumain. Daniel Bernard Roumain – or DBR as he likes to be called – was born in Skokie, Illinois, but grew up in Southern Florida, surrounded by music from Latin communities – the Bahamas, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic – as well as his own family's Haitian music. He took up violin at age five, and says he absorbed a variety of classical and contemporary music. In junior high, he formed his own rock and hip-hop band and in high school played in a jazz orchestra which brought in guests like Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Charles. He later pursued formal musical studies with mentors William Bolcom and Michael Daugherty, earning both his masters and doctoral degrees. The four movements of his Ghetto Strings evoke four places Roumain has called home at various points in his life: Harlem, Detroit, Liberty City in Miami, and Haiti. Music Played in Today's Program Daniel Bernard Roumain (b. 1970): Haiti, fr Ghetto Strings (Minneapolis Guitar Quartet) innova CD 858

Composer/violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain shares his unique perspective as a black progressive string player and composer in a very traditional classical world. We talk about his journey of self-discovery and the importance of advocating for new ideas and updating of traditions. Then I quiz the composer of one of the better known contemporary solo violin works, "Filter", about the rock band Filter. Hilarity ensues.

Composer Daniel Bernard Roumain sees pain, legacy, and enduring hope in this famous photograph of Ella Watson, one of many by Gordon Parks. Performance poet Lady Caress describes it as “the physical form of stolen expectations.” Together, they respond to the iconic photograph with a combination of music and poetry. In the ebb and flow of his composition, DBR hopes to capture the rhythm of Watson's life—an elegy for someone he longs to have known.

Composer Daniel Bernard Roumain doesn't ask for permission. He is a revolutionary, changing the world of concert music and opera by creating unapologetically black music--opera, string quartets, a YouTube requiem--all for black audiences. Taking the classical music world by storm, DBR is challenging some of the most powerful names and revered institutions in the classical music world to examine their repertoire and their hearts. Why in spite of blind auditions are there so few black musicians in the world's orchestras? Why are classical music audiences so white? Are the orchestras and opera companies racist? Maybe. Or maybe it's the repertoire. Well, not anymore. Join Tarik and Anna for an important conversation about the future of American concert music.

That’s not a violin – it’s a woodbox! Daniel Bernard Roumain talks about creative appropriation in classical music. The Haitian-American composer’s creative world was cracked open when he realized that everything – including the definition of “violin” – was ripe for reinterpretation. As a kid in garage bands, he took the decidedly uncool violin and made it his own. As a classically trained musician, he brings classical music together with hip hop, rock, bluegrass, and other genres to create his signature sound. We talk about DBR’s creative journey and about how innovators like John Cage have changed classical music by adding an important ingredient to the genre: imagination. Audio production by Todd “T-Dawg” Hulslander with super disco breaking by Dacia Clay.

Shock World Service 051 Long Distance Call by Jon Averill 01/02/2013 London, United Kingdom 1. Chromatics – The Telephone Call Some late night atmospherics to start us off from ‘Night Drive/Original Motion Picture Soundtrack IV' accompanied by some London rain I recorded. 2. How To Dress Well – When I Was In Trouble HTDW bring melancholy & starkness to the genre. Sounds more like the soundtrack to the walk home after breaking up with your girlfriend (suitable to this podcast) than champagne & gold chains. 3. Inc. – Swear Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis on Ketamine. 4. fLako – Mating Dance For me music is at it's best when it sounds unconventional, surprises you & demands your attention. fLako's afro-electronics ticks all the boxes. 5. Chosen Gospel Singers – Prayer For The Doomed This track was recorded at some time in the late 1950s & though a million miles away in process, to me has a lot in common with the previous tracks by How To Dress Well & Inc. 6. Daniel Bernard Roumain & Ryuichi Sakamoto – The Need To Be ‘The Need To Be' is taken from a compilation with the lengthy title of ‘DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid* ‎– Sound Unbound Audio Companion: Excerpts & Allegories From The Sub Rosa Archives', which is to accompany his book of the same name. 7. Edgar Froese – Icarus Edgar Froese was a founding member of seminal German act Tangerine Dream. in 1978 Froese released his solo album ‘Ages' after major differences with his bandmates. According to Froese, it was recorded at a very emotional time in his career. 8. Dom Thomas – Gin & Tonic From the Finders Keepers & B-Music Crew; Dom Thomas blurs the lines between mixtape & original composition 9. Robert Ashley – Bruno Part 1 Robert Ashley is a contemporary American composer whose work traverses opera, experimental electronic music & theatrical works. ‘Bruno Part 1' is a hypnotic spoken word piece that is similar in tone to Laurie Anderson's ‘O Superman'. 10. Lee Hazlewood – Hands Ah, our old pal Lee Hazlewood is back – possibly the most featured artist ever on the World Service. Wouldn't you know it, poor old Lee is down on his luck & of course it's a woman that's the source of his troubles. Chin up son. 11. Hackman – Forgotten Notes This track is released on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Records, named after North London's Brownswood Road, which my old house backs on to. A fact interesting only to me. 12. Vangelis – Multi Track Suggestion Van the man in rare disco mode, disco with his unique take on it as you would expect. This is from the 1980 album ‘See You Later' which sees him experimenting with electronic sounds for the first time. 2 years later he would take his electronic sounds to new heights & greater acclaim with the Blade Runner soundtrack. 13. Oneohtrix Point Never – Betrayed In The Octagon The Brooklyn-based musician Daniel Lopatin describes the track as "a stoned space epic about one really bad day in the life of an astronaut.", & that is good enough for me. 14. Robert Frost – Reluctance Another piece of spoken wordery by American poet Robert Frost 15. Julia Holter – Goddess Eyes (Echo Manor Version) Holter's music builds up from layers of patient, breathy voices & strings that seem to slowly sneak up on, rather than impose themselves on you. 16. Bill Fay – The Never Ending Happening Revealing itself behind some Arsenal fans (thanks lads) is ‘The Never Ending Happening', simply one of the most heartfelt & beautiful pieces of music i've heard in a long time. 17. Seti The First – Sugar To Sea Lion I've been a big fan of Seti The First for a while, only very recently discovering they were two Irish musicians; Kevin Murphy & Thomas Haugh. 18. F.J. McMahon – Sister Brother Released in 1969, following a stint serving in the U.S. Air Force. The album's outsider, lo-fi folk vibe pulls from his experiences in Vietnam & has become a top item among collectors & folk/psych lovers alike.

Composer Daniel Bernard Roumain and Imani Winds discuss and rehearse the Carnegie Hall–commissioned piece "Five Chairs and One Table."

Daniel Bernard Roumain (or just DBR) is a classically trained musician whose style veers just as easily from hip-hop to Handel, a collision of influences he refers to as "dred violin." Born of Haitian immigrants and based out of Harlem, DBR has collaborated with artists as diverse as Phillip Glass and DJ Spooky. He's currently on tour with his nine piece orchestra, The Mission-which includes an amplified string quartet, drum-kit, keyboards, DJ and laptop-to perform "The Civil Rights Reader," a collection of compositions serving as musical portraits of leaders from the civil rights era. DBR and The Mission will bring "The Civil Rights Reader" to the Lied Center on February 2nd, and he was kind enough to sit down with us (via cellphone) for a chat.
