Sonic dust, musical gardens and digital birds

Settle in for a two-hour exploration into mind-bending sounds with Verity Sharp. Expect Appalachian mouth bows, Ugandan techno, Italian sound sculptures and computerised birdsong.

Settle in for another Friday night exploration into mind-bending sounds with Verity Sharp. We’ll head to a musical garden conjured by Virginia guitarist Daniel Bachman, courtesy of an album he recorded whilst working as a carpenter’s assistant in a cabin near Shenandoah National Park (during which time he repurposed and built his own instruments including an old Hondo banjo and an Appalachian mouth harp.) There’ll be a stop-off in Kampala for the pulsing percussive sounds of Ugandan techno collective Nihiloxica, and a visit, too, to the sound sculptures of Italian artist Fabio Perletta. Plus the Australian field recordist Kate Carr invites us to reimagine birdsong through her electronic manipulations, with what she calls β€œa field guide to phantasmic birds.”
