Bursts of Light
Corey Mwamba presents improvised music teeming with light and birdsong, including recordings in New Zealand, Nintendo sound effects and blazing trumpets.
Corey Mwamba presents improvised music teeming with light and birdsong. For Dawn Chorus Day, falling this weekend, a dazzling piece from Sarah Peebles playing the sho?: gentle wind work breezes through collected recordings of birdsong, rushing rivers and the soft hush of rustling plants. Plus, Wadada Leo Smith plays with a new ensemble, Orange Wave Electric, the band's name reflecting the electric vitality Smith sees in this particular colour. The group comprises stalwart figures in experimental music including Nels Cline, Brandon Ross, Bill Laswell and Melvin Gibbs, and through anthemic rock grooves and soaring trumpet lines, the group references Black cultural figures as a way of pointing to the creative possibilities of social transformation.
Elsewhere in the show, experimental artists Halina Rahdjian and Luhas create a dense world of sensory wonder, with dappled light creeping through in the form of glitching tape manipulations, Nintendo sound effects, and field recordings.
