Nick Luscombe

Nick Luscombe has melting vocals from Belgian jazz singer Melanie De Biasio, music by Jon Hassell inspired by the Senoi people of Malaysia, and rhythm and blues by Roy Gaines.

Nick Luscombe traces a circle across the night, an hour and a half wide, which takes in the melting vocals of the 'Belgian Billie Holiday', Melanie De Biasio; a piece of distorted trumpet drones by Jon Hassell inspired by the Senoi people of Malaysia, who regard dreams as an integral part of daily life; and the rhythm and blues of T Bone Walker protege Roy Gaines.

Also on the programme we have some exciting new material by the cult film director and composer John Carpenter.

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.
