Max Reinhardt

Max Reinhardt with desert blues, water-filled porcelain bowls, Xenakis, and new music inspired by industrial films.

Sounds old and new, dry and wet. There's a chance to listen in on aquasonics expert Tomoko Sauvage's 'natural synthesiser': water-filled porcelain bowls amplified by hydrophones. Meanwhile in the Sahara, ethnomusicologist and producer DJ Tudo gives the desert blues a Brazilian twist.

Percussive plenty too, with Japanese percussionist Kuniko Kato's rendition of Xenakis's Pléïades - music she describes as 'a myriad of bell crickets singing at the same time... the initial atom of the universe bursting into all the shapes and colours we see around us'.

Felix Kubin's latest rhythmic exploration seems rather less utopian - 'The Beat of Work' is inspired by industrial and instructional films of the late 20th century. Nevertheless the often motoric, precise music also reflects Kubin's signature playfulness.

Plus, a dash of west-coast cool from Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker's classic pianoless quartet of the early '50s.

Produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening.
