Weligwic - Place of Willows
The latest sounds in the world of new music, including Gazelle Twin, Emma Ruth Rundle and Gabriel Prokofiev.
Kate Molleson introduces some of the latest sounds including the premiere of James Weeks's Weligwic, a work which hovers on the very margins of orchestral sound, a half-light world, overcast and subdued. Also tonight, Akanthos, a classic of musical modernism by Iannis Xenakis, whose centenary is celebrated this year and, in advance of a performance at the New Music Biennial at the beginning of next month, The Power and the Glory from Gazelle Twin and Max Wardener, an elegiac anti-idyll exploring themes of English heritage. And, in Sounding Change, Gabriel Prokofiev talks about his latest album, Howl and "untangling signal from noise, truth from lies and how political protest sometimes emerges from this overload."
