Verity Sharp with Matmos, Juxtavoices and a washing machine

Verity Sharp presents a collaborative session featuring electronic duo Matmos performing with 24-piece 'anti-choir' Juxtavoices and a washing machine. Plus music for Midsummer Day.

Experimental electronic duo Matmos and 'anti-choir' Juxtavoices meet for a very exciting Late Junction collaboration session.

On top of their ten excellent studio albums, Matmos are well known for their numerous collaborations with Bjork. However, today's Late Junction collaboration session is with a group they've never met before - Juxtavoices, the 24 person improvising 'anti-choir' from Sheffield. Add to that the collaborative powers of an everyday Ultimate Care II washing machine, the sound of which is the source material for Matmos' latest album.

Verity Sharp also puts together some Midsummer Day music for you, and features great artists new and old, including Paddy Steer and Ernest Ranglin.
