Jennifer Lucy Allan presents the latest in our exclusive Late Junction collaboration sessions with a meeting of musical minds from across the Atlantic via the power of the internet. In this edition, LA-based experimental vocalist Nour Mobarak meets Berlin-based sound artist and composer Jessica Ekomane.

Nour Mobarak is an experimental vocalist and artist. Her work 鈥榚xcavates violence and desire鈥�, with a focus on the use of language, which she explores through voice, sculpture, sound, performance, writing and video. Her latest project Allophone Movement, collages over 40 different languages in an attempt to explore the effect that speech can have when you remove its meaning.

Jessica Ekomane is a French-born Berlin-based sound artist and composer. She uses sound to create a cathartic effect for the listener through live quadraphonic performances and installations, experimenting in psychoacoustics and perception. Her 2019 release Multivocal was recorded at a live sleeping event, and was inspired by psychology and trance-inducing rhythms.

As the clock strikes midnight on Halloween we play scary sounds for the season, from the psych soundtrack of the first French vampire film, to a classic release by DJ Spooky that remixes the likes of Allen Ginsberg and Terry Riley. Plus a preview of Fat Out Fest鈥檚 Halloween weekend extravaganza, including Lone Taxidermist and Iceboy Violet.
