Stretched archives and harvests of sound

Late Junction

Available for 29 days

Join Verity Sharp to explore the latest and greatest in experimental music from around the world. There are fragmented archive readings from Elena Colombi, partnering with Hastings Queer History Collective to deliver club listings, group notices and press releases stretched around a beguiling soundscape. Luke Cowan, meanwhile, presents a meditative-yet-unpredictable soundworld via his new project ‘SPRiNG!’, with the music being overdubbed ‘blind’, without reference to the sounds already in place. Elsewhere: Tenerife-based Lagoss open up their ‘petri dish’ of experimental archives to offer ‘music for plantains’; and an irresistible improvised groove from Spontaneous Music Live, recorded at Los Angeles venue Zebulon. Produced by Alex Yates A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Late Junction”.
