Friday 15 May
11pm - Late Junction
I thought tonight's programme might be of interest to some globe arty folks here:
In 2018 British electronic musician Paul Purgas fouind a box of reel-to-reel tapes in a design school in Ahmedabad, west India. The compositions he discovered revealed a whole new chapter of Indian musical history that transfored his perception of the genre. Purgas joins Verity Sharpe to play some of the music from the original tapes. Plus South African accordion jive, a new release from cellist Okkyung Lee, and recordings from Saharan Whatsapp messages.
The write-up on the link above sugggests another, previously unknown (or unconsidered) portal into electronic music, different from the generally regarded routes of Paris and Darmstadt in the 1940s, so this could well be also of interest to New Music devotees.
