Verity Sharp

Verity Sharp celebrates avant-garde musical couples. Plus music from the 21-piece Fire! Orchestra, glitch disco from Mikimo Sosumi and a new electronic piece from Thanos Chrysakis.

Adventures in music, ancient to future.

Verity Sharp celebrates avant-garde musical couples ahead of tomorrow night's "wedding session" from Matana Roberts and Seb Rochford. Robert Wyatt explains how lyrics written by his wife Alfie have stretched him as a musician and we take a glimpse into the life of John Lennon and Yoko Ono from a hospital bed when Yoko was pregnant.

There's music from the 21-piece Fire! Orchestra who combine garage rock, free improvisation and rich horn arrangements conducted by saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. Plus glitch disco from an elusive artistic moniker, Mikimo Sosumi, and a new electronic piece from Greek composer Thanos Chrysakis that promises to "tickle your ears like glass mosquitos".
