Recorded at last month's week-long Festival in the huge Arts venue Ambika P3 of the University of Westminster, Tom Service introduces works by Chris Newman (b1958), Leo Chadburn(b1980), father & daughter duo YeahYou, and Joan La Barbara(b1947).

La Barbara is a fascinating composer & performer, whose sensuous & sensual Music has been greatly admired by those who know it - it deserves to reach a wider audience in the UK.

Thus far I've never got on with Newman's Music - I always listen (as I shall this week) in hope of "conversion", but always come away wishing I hadn't bothered.

I don't know Chadburn's work, nor that of YeahYou - but the latter pair at least arouses my interest: how many father/daughter composing & performing duos from Newcastle, who go around in a transit van, making field recordings in IKEA car parks upon which they base their improvised performances (vocals and lo-fi electronics)?!

This programme looks as if it is the last of but two recorded at the Festival - which seems a pity, given the variety offered in the programme - who wouldn't like to experience a bit of New Intimacy?

A further pity that BBC4 cameras weren't there to broadcast the performance of Pauline Oliveros(1932 - 2016)'s 1992 video The Sluts and Goddesses Video Workshop—Or How To Be A Sex Goddess in 101 Easy Steps from 8th December.

Yes it would have been instructive to find out how to be a sex goddess!!! Very much looking forward to this broadcast, nontheless: I'll be specially listening out for counting the number of post-production bleep outs from the IKEA car park "field recording"!
