Kate NV鈥檚 mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from Kate NV, the solo persona of Moscow-based singer, songwriter, producer and designer Ekaterina Shilonosova.

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from Kate NV, the solo persona of Moscow-based singer, songwriter, producer and designer Ekaterina Shilonosova. There鈥檚 a childlike curiosity that runs through Kate鈥檚 work, whether it be magnifying the sounds of seemingly mundane objects such as wind-up teeth or bubble wrap to comic proportions, improvising live with bells and glasses of water, or crafting a patchwork of synthesizers and sampled acoustic instruments. Her forthcoming album WOW abandons conventional song formats in favour of playfully ecstatic musical fragments, full of colour and texture.

Elsewhere in the show, self-taught artist and producer Ruhail Qaisar expresses the trauma and decay of life in his hometown of Leh, the joint capital and largest city of the disputed Ladakh region, and we鈥檒l hear from a new project by Cuban jazz drummer Francisco Mela which poses the question: can music liberate us?
