Nick Luscombe with Phantom Chips

Nick is joined by instrument maker and performer Phantom Chips to share her favourite sounds. Plus an ode to Brixton, exotic dance funk and a sweet duo inspired by motherhood.

Nick is joined in the studio by Tara Pattenden, a.k.a. Phantom Chips, an electronic musician who works with wearable synths and 'tactile noise machines' that she develops from found objects. She shares some of the fruits of a recent residency at the Novas FrequΓͺncias Festival in Rio de Janeiro, featuring a sticky and mouldy intercom system picked up at a flea market, and a phantom detector.

Also in the programme, field recording expert Kate Carr goes urban with an ode to Brixton, the multi-national dance group The Turbans announce their debut album and we've a sweet violin and piano duo inspired by motherhood composed by Emily Hall.

Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.
