Kathryn Tickell's Music Planet

On KT's MP at the weekend the inaugural Global Encounters session between two musicians working remotely. This one was rabab player Qais Essar, an Afghani based in Arizona working alongside Korean Dasom Baek who plays various ancient Korean flutes, for example the Daegeum and Sogeum. It did sound very experimental - very pleasant sounds - I suppose this is fairly common now, especially since lockdown, for musicians to meet in the ether. Personally, I found it interesting rather than great, but will await to see what collaborations appear in the future.

They have been doing this on Late Junction for ages - I think it is one of the reasons I don't bother with LJ so much - these collabs often feel a bit forced and the results are commensurate with that.
What makes me smile is that the presenter always has to give an exaggerated version of the excellence of the results. I would love once to hear them say that the results were so bad they were going to spare the ears of the faithful listener.
