麻豆约拍

The latest Late Junction collaboration session, recorded remotely during lockdown, features Jacob Samuel with Verity Standen. With social distancing restrictions in place, the talented pair sent improvisations and raw musical ideas back and forth over email, creating a rapid, spontaneous and unique cooperative artefact.

Jacob Samuel is a producer, pianist, and sound artist, best known for his collaborations with Klein and Ben Vince. Having moved out of London and back to Lancaster during lockdown, he decided to use whatever was closest to hand for this session, namely his mum鈥檚 old records and a keyboard he used as a child.

Verity Standen is a composer and theatre-maker based in Bristol. Beginning always with solo a capella improvisations, her work focuses on the human voice, gathering professional performers, community choirs, and untrained singers together to explore the different ways that people can experience music.

Also tonight, Verity Sharp plays new music from B茅rang猫re Maximin and Nicole Mitchell, and a classic cut from Anthony Braxton.

Produced by Jack Howson.
