Ambient Melodies

Corey Mwamba presents the best in new improvised music. Plus Laura Cannell talks birdsong, improvisation and her inspirations.

Corey Mwamba presents the best in new improvised music. Laura Cannell talks about her new album, Antiphony of the Trees, and shares her inspirations. Of the album, created during a lockdown wave, she said: 鈥渢he birds were singing so loudly that I had to sing back.鈥� Here, she reinterprets birdsong through the recorder. Mimicking and extending the tonal quality of birdsong, through a mixture of composition and improvisation, she creates a beguiling dialogue with the natural world. Elsewhere in the programme, Francesco Covarino weaves soothing lullabies for his daughter from sparse guitar, toy instruments and field recordings. Plus, oceanic meditations on consciousness from Ukrainian violinist Valentina Goncharova.
