Where the botanical meets the musically experimental, with Max Reinhardt.

Featured among the blooming wonderful specimens: hip hop star Kojey Radical soundtracks the horticultural neural networks of visual artist Hito Steyerl; composer-improviser Lars Gaugaard leads the listener on a sensory journey; Earthen Sea鈥檚 new album 鈥楪rass And Trees鈥 yields a fantastic crop of reductionist rhythmic music; Lisa Knapp sings atmospheric folk; Laura Cannell teases minimalist chamber sounds out of the land and sky; recorder player Genevieve Lacey combines with the environment to create a 鈥榣istening garden鈥; and the tired Earth creaks in a durational opera for the Anthropocene by Rugile虈 Barzdz虒iukaite虈, Vaiva Grainyte虈 and Lina Lapelyte虈.

Plus recorded highlights from Lubomyr Melnyk鈥檚 set at the boutique festival Sea Change, and a classic track by keen gardener Cosey Fanni Tutti, ahead of the mixtape that she has cultivated for tomorrow night鈥檚 programme.
