Sound Scribbles and Untrustworthy Music

Jennifer Lucy Allan plays two hours of ‘untrustworthy’ music, with sound scribbles from poet Brian Belott and zero gravity strings from Indonesian artist Otto Sidharta.

Poet and artist Brian Belott wants to tell you that music is not a good thing. For years, he has been scribbling both on paper and in sound, spilling language into a pool of abstraction. Jennifer Lucy Allan untangles one of his sound scribbles on air, this one a warning on the untrustworthiness of ‘invisible’ music.

Also on the programme: a meeting point between zero gravity strings and low-end wobble, courtesy of Indonesian artist Otto Sidharta; an 80s avant-garde record Jen found on a trip to Marseille which is simply marked ‘Ferdinand’; and we mark the 50th anniversary of Pauline Oliveros’s seminal Sonic Meditations with an ode to listening.
