Coming up on Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. It’s when an object becomes more beautiful for having been broken. On this week's program, hear Salina Fisher’s work “Kintsugi.” It’s a fragile sound world of musical fragmentation and finding beauty in the “cracks,” a metaphor for embracing strength in imperfection.

Then, listen for new music from Shelley Washington that is a musical depiction of her neurodivergent experience of “time blindness.” Titled “Eternal Present,” it’s music that explores two kinds of timelessness: the “now,” and the “always.”

Also featuring music by Caroline Shaw, JessieMontgomery, Maeve Gilchrist, Shara Nova, Julia Mermelstein, Cara Stacey, Simmy Singh, and others; and performances by yMusic, NZTrio, pianist Chris Opperman, Conspirare, cellist India Gailey, ~Nois Saxophone Quartet, flutist Tessa Brinckman with pianist Kathleen Supové, and more.
