Verity Sharp

Verity Sharp's selections include French vocal music, headbanging Swiss math-rock, a Meccano orchestra and Japanese interpretations of Indian raga.

Verity continues the week with a Wednesday-night headbanger courtesy of Swiss math-rock trio Schnellertollermeier. There's more new music for an industrial age from French composer Pierre Bastien's Mecanium - an ensemble of automatons made from Meccano parts and electro-motors that, together with Bastien, play rubber bands, prepared trumpet and rabab among other things.

Plus, Japanese quartet Saicobab explore traditional Indian ragas with unconventional instruments, and composer Betsy Jolas's interpretation for female voices of the texts of the prophet Jeremiah.

Produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening.
