Improvising with the Australian outback

Allis Hamilton describes how Australia鈥檚 wildfires have affected her as an improviser. Plus a meditative piece for turntables and electronics that improvises with volume.

Allis Hamilton is an artist living in a hand-built shack in the Australian outback. She makes improvised music in a trio called Alias Nun who are inspired by the aural soundscapes of the surrounding bush. Even though their home is far away from the wildfires plaguing the country, there are days when the air is thick with smoke. Allis describes how the complex emotions these devastating fires arouse can find an outlet in improvised music.

Also on the show, saxophonist Mette Rasmussen creates some gorgeously gritty vocalisations through her instrument, in a duo with guitarist Julien Desprez, and there鈥檚 a meditative piece that improvises with volume for turntables and electronics. Presented by Corey Mwamba.
