As part of the weekend-long Why Music? The Key to Memory theme, this week's Hear & Now is broadcast Live form t'Wellcome Collection, beginning with an improvisation from Parkinson Saunders (Tim Parkinson [b1973] and James Saunders [b1972]) whose work I have greatly admired in the past, but whose last broadcast effort a couple of months ago I found a bit feeble - I hope it was an off day. Then (or possibly even at the same time - the H&N website's "also performing Live" isn't clear) the current personnel of composer-performer ensemble Bastard Assignments (Edward Henderson, Timothy Cape, Caitlin Rowley, and Josh Spear) join with former Wellcome composer-in-residence Antonia Barnett-McIntosh.
Very intriguing; very promising - and further evidence of the current resurgence of interest in experimental/indeterminate Music-making amongst young Musicians: a wellcome development, indeed.
