Inspirations with violinist and composer Rakhi Singh

Kate Molleson presents some of the latest sounds in New Music including the musical inspirations of violinist, composer and music director Rakhi Singh.

Kate Molleson explores some of the latest sounds in New Music including Rufus Isabel Elliot's the stones in the river by our camp in the forest, the space on the ground where we sit. After its premiere at Tectonics in May, one critic said that this was a work 'whose seasick sliding sounds and unwaveringly slow pace spoke deeply of trauma and hope.' Also in the programme, Kalie Malone's 'Does Spring Hide its Joy,' for sine wave oscillators which, she says, "is an attempt to digest the countless life transitions and hold time together. And beginning this week, a new series in which artists share some of their musical inspirations." This week, it’s Manchester-based violinist, composer and music director Rakhi Singh.
