Playful brass and extreme healing

Jennifer Lucy Allan with new work for brass by Scottish outsider Bill Wells, sludgy drones from doom-metal band Boris and an archive performance of theremin pioneer Clara Rockmore.

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a recent composition by Scottish jazz outsider Bill Wells, performed by young brass players from Glasgow as well as sludgy drones from Japanese doom-metal band Boris, something they call “extreme healing music”. There’ll also be space ballads from the Sahara courtesy of Mamman Sani and his electric organ, and experimental dancehall at 90bpm from Equiknoxx's Gavsborg.

Plus, ahead of a new documentary celebrating the female pioneers of electronic music, we dive into the archives to revisit a performance by Lithuanian virtuoso Clara Rockmore, the queen of the theremin.

Produced by Katie Callin.
A Reduced Listening production for 大象传媒 Radio 3.
