Drones

Corey Mwamba shares new improvised music channelling deep feeling through drones, from dub-inspired Afrofuturism to industrial mandolins via Greece.

Corey Mwamba shares new improvised music that channels deep feeling.

American percussionist JoVia Armstrong draws inspiration from the likes of Sun Ra and Lee Scratch Perry to create drone-laden, aerial pieces that attempt to heal through an Afrofuturist approach to sound.

Drones make another appearance via a meditation on grief from the Athens-based Farwest Mandolinistic Orchestra. The quartet generate a glitching industrial atmosphere softly underscored by rippling strings.

Elsewhere in the programme, British double bassist Olie Brice amasses a supergroup of stellar UK improvisers offering a funhouse of sound that slips and slides in multiple directions. This octet features Jason Yarde, Rachel Musson, George Crowley, Cath Roberts, Alex Bonney, Kim Macari and Johnny Hunter.
