Tom Service presents a concert from the London Contemporary Music Festival, recorded earlier this month in Hackney, East London. As ever with this exciting festival, there is a huge variety of new music and sound art. The LCMF Orchestra play three major new commissions by improvisers Maggie Nicols and Sofia Jernberg, and composer Laurence Crane, alongside an extremely rare performance of Yves Klein鈥檚 influential 鈥� and infamous 鈥� Monotone-Silence Symphony (1947/61), all conducted by Jack Sheen. Also in this show: Gag, a new quartet by Edward Henderson; the UK premiere of KIND, by German composer Lisa Streich, for guitar, hairclips and egg slicer; and a new live set by cult electronica artists EVOL. Plus an extraordinary presentation of a 5,000-year-old tradition that nearly went extinct in the 20th century: the Kurdish art of dengb锚j-singing. One of the masters of the form, Dengb锚j Ali Tekbas, showcases this highly expressive, highly refined story-telling form.
