Cut and Splice Festival 2015

BBC Radio 3 - Hear and Now, Cut and Splice Festival 2015, Episode 2

Music including Peter Ablinger, Alvin Lucier, Bryan Eubanks and Hildegard Westerkamp.

Music from the 2015 Cut and Splice music festival, by Peter Ablinger, Alvin Lucier, Bryan Eubanks, Mauro Lanza, Andrea Valle and Hildegard Westerkamp.

Presented by Robert Worby.

BBC Radio 3's ground-breaking festival of experimental sound Cut & Splice returns to the airwaves with recordings from this year's event at London's Cafe Oto, curated by the composer Joanna Bailie and featuring the group Ensemble Plus-Minus. Bailie's programme links the work of the early pioneers of the avant-garde to the trail-blazers of today and explores the relationships between music machines and the environment.

In addition to music from the second night of performances at the festival, Robert also visits a sound installation by Dawn Scarfe in Cafe Oto's Project Space, called Listening Glasses.
