Corey Mwamba presents the best in new improvised music.

As a part of a live performance that took place at the Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre in Glasgow - an emporium of whirring sounds and kinetic machinery - the cellist and sound artist Semay Wu weaves a sensory world of electronic connectivity. In collaboration with John Cavanagh, Wu improvises with the theatre’s machines alongside collected recordings for a mesmerising performance meditating on space, time and movement. Plus, drummer Sebastian Rochford and pianist Kit Downes team up for a minimalist dialogue between their instruments, where reverberating silences create a loaded atmosphere of suggestion and release.

Elsewhere, electronic improviser Chunyang Yao uses vocal distortions and drones to recreate the ominous sight and sound of crows circling over seas and empty streets in Tomakomai, Japan.
