The best new music including a hommage to Bridget Riley by Georg Friedrich Haas.

Kate Molleson introduces a hommage to Bridget Riley by the ever imaginative Georg Friedrich Haas and a soundscape of burning pianos plus an interview with New York-based Du Yun

Kate Molleson presents a show which takes us from Georg Friedrich Haas's sensitive response to the work of Bridget Riley - on show for another fortnight at London's Hayward Gallery - to the soundscape of a burning piano. And before that comes the macabre humour and delirium of 'History of Bestiality,' for percussion and experimental rock band: it's a fusion of contemporary music, noise, cabaret, spoken words, pop and rock inspired by Jens Bjørneboe's 'Bestiality Trilogy.' 
Also today, a look at New York composer Du Yun, born and raised in Shanghai, China, who works at the intersection of orchestral, opera, chamber music, theatre, cabaret, oral tradition, public performances, sound installation, electronics, visual arts, and noise.

New York Composer Du Yun 
At first glance, the one predictable thing about Du Yun, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, performer, and multimedia artist, is her unpredictability. Dig deeper, though, and you can sense the conjoined strands of curiosity and compassion that run through everything she makes.
