Verity Sharp shares the fruits of another Late Junction long-distance collaboration session between two artists who have never worked together before. This time, experimental vocalist Yifeat Ziv and Indian sarangi player Suhail Yusuf Khan.

Suhail Yusuf Khan is a vocalist, composer and modern master of the sarangi, a traditional bowed instrument in Indian classical music. An eighth-generation sarangi player, he was taught by his grandfather from the age of seven, touring the world with his family to perform. A prolific musical collaborator across genres and as part of multiple groups, his most recent release was an album with his Indian-folk-jazz trio Yorkston/Thorne/Khan that includes reimagined Punjabi-language praise songs and a Robert Burns poem.

Yifeat Ziv is an experimental vocalist, sound artist and free improviser. One of the winners of the 2020 Oram Awards, her sound works reflect her research into the human voice and listening practices. Her most recent release 鈥楢mazonian Traces of Self鈥� explores the intersection of her own vocals with environmental field recordings from the Brazilian rainforest. She is the co-founder of vocal ensembles The Hazelnuts and ABRA Ensemble, and has worked as an improviser with the likes of David Toop and William Parker.

Elsewhere in the show there鈥檒l be brand new releases, from the mythological, experimental musical soundscapes of field recordist Kink Gong to the electroacoustic improvisations of multi-instrumentalist Lea Bertucci. Plus on-location recordings from a new compilation of Chang眉铆 party music from Guant谩namo in Cuba.
