Verity Sharp

Verity Sharp with music by French electroacoustic composer Francois-Bernard Mache, the 'lion of Zimbabwe' Thomas Mapfumo, and noise band The Elks' imitation of a stag's wail.

Verity's selections tonight include something electroacoustic and something pianistic from French composer François-Bernard Måche. Måche's work as an author sought among other things to 'begin to speak of animal musics other than with the quotation marks' and there are certainly none around noise band The Elks' naturalistic imitation of a stag's wail. Thomas Mapfumo's epithet 'the lion of Zimbabwe' still needs them though - it's a title earned by his politically conscious Chimurenga music from the 1980s and 90s. To soften the focus a little, there's also West-coast ambient haziness from Grouper.

Produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening.
