´óÏó´«Ã½

Corey Mwamba presents new music digging through history, memory and interspecies relations.

Bassist Ruth Goller plumbs the depths of her own recent experiences, pulling the pain of loss and fragments of feeling to the surface as part of a process of renewal. Rippling bass, siren songs and off-kilter percussion circle together to create a dystopian soundscape of survival.

Though waves of honking, futuristic, swing, the celebrated quartet, Ahmed - Pat Thomas, Joel Grip, Antonin Gerbal and Seymour Wright - continue their sonic conversations with the archives of Ahmed Abdul-Malik, the renowned double bassist and oud player whose work fused Middle Eastern and North African styles with jazz. Elsewhere, through field recordings, Ana Rodriguez and Robert Da Silva honour the musicality, labour and social importance of horses in the rural village of Curtina in Uruguay.
