Verity Sharp plays musical matchmaker, inviting two artists who have never met to collaborate. This month the improvising violinist Silvia Tarozzi joins forces with the minimalist composer Tashi Wada to produce a remote collaboration at distance. Silvia Tarozzi is a composer and improviser based in Bologna whose latest album ‘Mi specchio e rifletto’ featured amongst our albums of the year for 2020. Tarozzi has a long history of collaboration. She has worked with Éliane Radigue, Pauline Oliveros and Cassandra Miller and over the last decade she has been drawing on the work of Milanese poet Alda Merini for inspiration. Tashi Wada is a Los Angeles-based composer and performer. His works explore harmonic overtones, resonance, and dissonance through precise tuning and gradual changes in pitch.

Elsewhere we immerse ourselves in the sounds of the Brazilian rainforest, get lost in the mesmeric percussion of the Nilotika Drum Ensemble and form an orderly queue for Glasgow odd-pop four-piece Buffet Lunch.
