Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music inspired by city soundscapes.

Percussionist Jason Nazary (Anteloper) joins forces with Iranian-American fraternal duo, Saint Abdullah. Through a gauzy tapestry of glitch and electronics, this offering conjures ambient visions of the cityscapes of New York, as hopeful improvisations meet frenetic acknowledgement of housing precarity. Multi-instrumentalist Laila Sakini and percussionist Valentina Magaletti, meanwhile, come together on Cupo, meaning 鈥榙ark鈥� in Italian. Recorded in various settings across London, it's a brooding, shapeshifting soundscape that expands and contracts over several movements.

Elsewhere in the programme, we hear a love letter to the city of Madrid from the electroacoustic improviser Wade Matthew in which sound collages and field recordings are interwoven with the soft ululations of bass clarinet and alto flute.
