Verity Sharp presents the latest Late Junction long-distance collaboration session between Palestinian multi-instrumentalist Dirar Kalash and Istanbul-based cellist Zeynep Ay艧e Hatipoglu.

Dirar Kalash is a multi-instrumentalist, sound artist and researcher based between Berlin and his home of Ramahllah in the State of Palestine. Through his work playing a whole array of wind instruments, electronics and percussion, Kalash explores how music and sound intersect with language, architecture and visual arts to reveal spaces for unity and resistance. He is the founder of music initiative Sonic Liberation Front, and is interested in different approaches to improvisation and collaboration.

Zeynep Ay艧e Hatipoglu is a cellist, composer and researcher based in Istanbul. Coming from a classical background, her work has shifted towards more electro-acoustic sounds, combining the experimental with traditional Turkish music and sound art. Hatipoglu鈥檚 work often centres on exploring methods of collaboration and improvisation, and she is a member of numerous music collectives including Klank.ist ensemble, Heya Collective and iKKi Duo.

Elsewhere in the show, we hear some energetic Cameroonian bikutsi from the late Roger Bekono, experiments on a toy glockenspiel from Australian producer Broken Chip, and vocal reflections on the space between wakefulness and sleep from Glasgow-based composer Nichola Scrutton.
