Sonic dust, musical gardens and digital birds

Settle in for a two-hour exploration into mind-bending sounds with Verity Sharp. Expect Appalachian mouth bows, Ugandan techno, Italian sound sculptures and computerised birdsong.

Settle in for another Friday night exploration into mind-bending sounds with Verity Sharp. We鈥檒l head to a musical garden conjured by Virginia guitarist Daniel Bachman, courtesy of an album he recorded whilst working as a carpenter鈥檚 assistant in a cabin near Shenandoah National Park (during which time he repurposed and built his own instruments including an old Hondo banjo and an Appalachian mouth harp.) There鈥檒l be a stop-off in Kampala for the pulsing percussive sounds of Ugandan techno collective Nihiloxica, and a visit, too, to the sound sculptures of Italian artist Fabio Perletta. Plus the Australian field recordist Kate Carr invites us to reimagine birdsong through her electronic manipulations, with what she calls 鈥渁 field guide to phantasmic birds.鈥
