The Signal with Pat Carrabré- Friday May 30, 2008
Be sure to have a box of tissues on hand tonight when Pat plays a heart-wrenching concert by Ms Julie Doiron woven through all three hours. Pat will also swirl the sounds of cello iconoclast Matt Haimovitz while sampling his work over the years. There will be a full hour of la musique francais and Pat will spin the sounds of Mr. Gnome, T-Bone Burnett, and Lucky Dragons.





The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Saturday, May 31, 2008
Pat puts the cinematic existential sounds of Montreal’s Bob and Bill into high rotation tonight. In concert the acclaimed violinist Rolf Schulte and pianist James Winn take on the dust and wind etched work of three prairie composers; ALLAN GORDON BELL, DIANA MCINTOSH and MICHAEL MATTHEWS. There will also be a seven-inch give away that has The Constantines and Feist reveling in Dolly Parton.





The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Sunday, June 1, 2008
Tonight join Pat at ringside when two generations of composers go head to head for avant-guard supremacy. Young classically trained whippersnappers like Alexandre Desilet and Julia Kent who crossed into pop take on the old guard like Andrew P. MacDonald and Paul Dolden who crossed over from rock and roll. Tonight’s concert features work by a heavy weight contender from the old guard: Canadian-Argentinean composer alcides lanza. He is infamous for marathon concerts and juggling electronic sounds with almost everything. Tonight’s Sunday soundtrack feature will be music from the dark Danish film- After the Wedding.
