Verity Sharp

Verity Sharp shares music from down-town New York, Ethiopia, and the French Baroque via New Zealand.

Tonight, Verity has found some sounds from down-town New York improv guitarist Mary Halvorson and her octet, also featuring the pedal steel guitar of Susan Alcorn. There are more plucked strings to enjoy, under the fingers of Alemu Aga, a master of the Ethiopian begena, a 10-string lyre. And we've a late-night homage to Rameau from New Zealand composer Denis Smalley - invoking the 'sleep scene' of French Baroque opera, in which the drama is suspended and a character is encouraged to rest.

Produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening.
