A hop, skip and a jump through the avenues of adventurous music. Verity's selection includes kalimba players in Zambia from 1930's field recordist Hugh Tracey's International Library of African Music; experimental recorder player Sylvia Hinz; a new album from Appalachian duo Anna and Elizabeth and the piano music of poet and painter Richard Moult which has accompanying verses:

And so at true mid-Night
Shall I steer this boat forwards
With the comfort of lights receding
And over the threshold between salt water and ethe?

The years remind me, just as Winter pulls the trees
That I have been born before the light
And need to become by crossing over
One key to one abyss

Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.
