Pipe dreams and radio ghosts
Verity Sharp serves up two hours of piping-hot experiments in sound - with ecstatic church organ and haunting bagpipes, plus playful accordion and radio ghosts.
We hope you’re hungry - it’s time for a generous helping of piping-hot experiments in sound and music, served up by your host Verity Sharp.
There’s dramatic new music imbued with historical gravitas by Stockholm-based Kali Malone who performs on four different organs dating from the 15th to the 17th centuries. Your fix of dynamic accordion-playing, meanwhile, comes from the Dominican Republic, courtesy of a new compilation of merengue tÃpico ‘45s from the '60s and '70s. There will also be some haunting solo bagpipes from Vermont composer Henry Birdsey. And elsewhere in the show, a chance to hear excerpts from artist Graeme Miller’s huge sonic installation LINKED, which - since 2003 - has been broadcasting, via radio transmitters, the voices of former residents of homes that were demolished (including Miller's own) to build the M11 Link road.
