Annie Gosfield

Annie  Gosfield, whom the BBC called "A one woman Hadron
collider" lives in  New York City and works on the
boundaries between notated and improvised  music, electronic
and acoustic sounds, refined timbres and noise.


Her music is often inspired by the inherent beauty of found
sounds,  such as machines, destroyed pianos, warped 78 rpm
records and jammed  radio signals.


Stephen Rawson talks with her about her life in music and
features  excerpts of several key works including her opera
War of the Worlds.
