This New Sounds episode features Daniel Figgis, the iconoclastic Irish composer, audio/video installation artist, sampling-innovator, and multi-instrumentalist. Recorded on location in Dublin, he discusses his CD Skipper and presents music from his next recording. Figgis's hypnotic, hauntingly beautiful style defies easy categorization, though the mesmeric Skipper was accurately described by Classic FM magazine as a cross between the "strange familiarity of a David Lynch film, the harmonic simplicity of John Tavener."

figgis? discussing skipper? drop everything!
