Lea Bertucci’s mixtape

Jennifer Lucy Allan invites American composer Lea Bertucci to compile our latest mixtape, and we play new compositions for gamelan and an early piece by Diamanda Galas.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a 30-minute mixtape compiled by the New York-based sound artist, musician and composer Lea Bertucci. Bertucci is an electro-acoustic minimalist who has a distinctive relationship with the acoustics. She has a background working with woodwind, primarily the alto saxophone and bass clarinet, but treats the space around her as a collaborator in its own right, recording in defunct cement mines, under bridges and in military bunkers. For this mix she delves into her archives to select field recordings, medieval song, spectralism and free jazz, glued together with excerpts of recordings she has made in locations over the years.

Also on the menu: pulled-apart post-punk by London trio Mosquitoes; new compositions for gamelan by Indonesian composer Dewa Alit; a slug of psychedelia from 1960s Sweden by Pärson Sound; and an early piece by the iconic Diamanda Galas.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
