Forecasts and oracles

100 years ago the weather forecast became a daily radio broadcast. Late Junction offers up an esoteric collection of sound and music that forewarns, divines and predicts.

100 years ago the weather forecast became a daily radio broadcast. Late Junction offers up an esoteric collection of sound and music that forewarns, divines and predicts.

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares tracks that celebrate the occult myths - and the science - behind predictions. Expect sounds and visions from the Ethereal Transects compilation, an exploration of the folklore behind celestial objects, as well as Psych-prog rock from Yorkshire’s The Accent, who offer musical enquiries into the meaning of a red sky at night. Plus, traditional ahwash music from the Amazigh people of Morocco, whose performers are often considered clairvoyant, and, just possibly, an appearance from the iconic Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Weather presenter Michael (Hurricane!) Fish.

Elsewhere in the show, a track from Peloto Cabras Mulusa Olve - the new record by Argentinian experimental band Reynols - plus a galloping piece from the debut album of Turkish artist Elif Yalvaç, which she created in collaboration with artists encountered on her travels around the world.
