Nick Luscombe with Ilan Volkov

Conductor Ilan Volkov joins Nick to share some new discoveries. Plus bamboo flutes from Martinique, Sudanese fiddle music and misty electronics from Glaswegian producer Turtle.

Ilan Volkov joins Nick to share some new musical discoveries. A former Chief Conductor for the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Volkov is also the curator of Tectonics festival in Adelaide, Oslo, Reykjavik and Glasgow. The festival's wide-ranging lineup reflects his expertise in experimental classical, free improvisation, electronic music, folk, hip-hop, and more.

Elsewhere, Nick has a piece of spiritual jazz from Martinique flautist Max Cilla who dedicated his life to resurrecting the country's traditional bamboo flute, even manufacturing them himself in the mountains of Martinique. We'll also hear a new piece of misty electronics by Glaswegian producer Turtle, featuring vocalist Eliza Shadded, and music from the 23-year-old Sudan Archives, a self taught violinist inspired by the Sudanese fiddle, West African rhythms and experimental electronics.

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.
