麻豆约拍

Ahead of her group鈥檚 appearance at Unclassified Live on January 23rd at the Southbank Centre in London, Takiaya Reed, founder of the Australian doom-metal outfit Divide and Dissolve, takes to the Listening Chair to select a track that transports her elsewhere. Takiaya is a saxophonist and guitarist based in Melbourne who proudly champions indigenous rights through Divide and Dissolve鈥檚 work: 鈥淭his music,鈥� she says, 鈥渋s an acknowledgement of the dispossession that occurs due to colonial violence.鈥� There is both heaviness and catharsis in the sound, as washes of distortion, uncompromising riffs and transcendent rhythms combine.

Elsewhere in the programme, Elizabeth Alker selects fresh music from genre-defying artists who take us on a journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. These include emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
