Forecasts and oracles
100 years ago the weather forecast became a daily radio broadcast. Late Junction offers up an esoteric collection of sound and music that forewarns, divines and predicts.
100 years ago the weather forecast became a daily radio broadcast. Late Junction offers up an esoteric collection of sound and music that forewarns, divines and predicts.
Jennifer Lucy Allan shares tracks that celebrate the occult myths - and the science - behind predictions. Expect sounds and visions from the Ethereal Transects compilation, an exploration of the folklore behind celestial objects, as well as Psych-prog rock from Yorkshire’s The Accent, who offer musical enquiries into the meaning of a red sky at night. Plus, traditional ahwash music from the Amazigh people of Morocco, whose performers are often considered clairvoyant, and, just possibly, an appearance from the iconic ´óÏó´«Ã½ Weather presenter Michael (Hurricane!) Fish.
Elsewhere in the show, a track from Peloto Cabras Mulusa Olve - the new record by Argentinian experimental band Reynols - plus a galloping piece from the debut album of Turkish artist Elif Yalvaç, which she created in collaboration with artists encountered on her travels around the world.
