Shells, shorelines and music from the Amazon

Verity Sharp goes looking for music made with shells, and explores new sonic shorelines. With music from Alex Rex, Rie Nakajima and Los Abuelos del Wayku.

Join Verity Sharp for two hours of sonic experimentation and adventures in music. Amongst the new releases to feature is a selection from Los Abuelos del Wayku, a group of musicians from the Lamista Kechwas communities in the Peruvian Amazon. Meanwhile, Alex Rex鈥檚 Mouthful of Earth project describes 鈥渢he human spirit pushed to the point of crisis鈥�; and the Greater Lanarkshire Auricular Research Council imagines what the audio output of an institution of ecoterrorism would sound like were it to exist. And, as it鈥檚 the right time to be beside the sea, Verity goes looking for artists who comb shorelines for sonic inspiration, as well as those who make music with shells and conches. Also in the programme, The Wire's editor Derek Walmsley offers highlights and history from his time at the magazine at the start of a month-long celebration for their 40th birthday.
