Monster Movies and Table Tennis

Verity Sharp leads an adventure in music of widescreen proportions, with music made from Japanese monster movies, 1970s Afghan poetry and a table tennis match gone awry.

Verity Sharp leads us on an adventure in music of widescreen proportions, with sonic experiments from the Ugandan MC Swordman Kitala and UK-based electronic producer Soft-Bodied Humans who incorporate the sounds of historic Japanese monster movies. Plus there鈥檚 newly rediscovered music from 1970s Afghanistan by singer and poet Nashenas, not heard outside of Radio Kabul for over 40 years, as well as a wordless love song recorded in the suburbs of Lyon by French outfit Soci茅t茅 脡trange.

Elsewhere in the show, Korean multi-instrumentalist and composer Park Jiha meditates on the shimmering textures of light, and we revisit the unusually hot Austrian summer of 2018 through the sounds of an outdoor table tennis match gone awry鈥�
