Island Meditations and Shoegaze Bluegrass

Verity Sharp shares electroacoustic soundscapes of rural Greece, traditional meditations from the island of Grande Comore and shoegaze bluegrass from Bristol.

Verity Sharp shares the electroacoustic soundscapes of rural Greece from Athens-born Tasos Stamou, who aims to capture the essence of the countryside by collaging antique folk instruments with synthesizers. There’ll be dusty industrial lamentations described as shoegaze bluegrass from Bristol’s Ambulance vs Ambulance, as well as electro-pop Sprechgesang from Glasgow duo Human Heads. Plus there’s brand new live recordings from the island of Grande Comore, the largest island in the Comoros near Madagascar, of meditations performed on traditional instruments the ndzendze and the gambussi.

Elsewhere there’s a collaboration between multi-instrumentalists Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe and Ariel Kalma, recorded outside a remote community on the eastern Australian coast, that explores ‘environmental ambience and entrancing naturalism’.
