#155: Ursula K. Le Guin & Todd Barton – The Quail Song

In fantasy and science fiction novels, American author Ursula K. Le Guin has created futuristic scenarios – often linked to Native American motifs. Always Coming Home, published in 1985, is set far away in a post-apocalyptic North California. In it, Le Guin describes the life of the fictional Kesh people: their myths, rituals, recipes and prose. Early editions of the book included a cassette with field recordings and songs. Le Guin recorded them with composer Todd Barton to make the world of the Kesh audible – for example, with The Quail Song.

Within Sound of the Nile – Tracing the Composer Soliman Gamil

As a boy in the 1930s, Soliman Gamil accompanied researchers to the pyramids to learn about the music of the pharaohs. After completing his musical training in Cairo and Paris, he developed 20th-century compositions together with village musicians who played instruments that had been in use for thousands of years.
