Verity Sharp shares a mix from guitar and saxophone duo Divide and Dissolve, who blend classical influences with crushing doom to create a sound that aims to ‘speak without words’. 

The pair initially bonded over their Indigenous backgrounds, and feel that their music enables them to communicate with their ancestors. Their inspirations range from James Baldwin and Octavia Butler to bodies of water and the forest. Their work draws on ideas of liberation, freedom and Indigenous sovereignty.

Elsewhere in the show, there’s a piece from the debut solo album of avant-garde vocalist Maggie Nichols, who first became active in London’s free improvisation scene in the 60s. This album is her first solo release, recorded over lockdown on her computer. There’s cosmic sounds from Senegal courtesy of the Wau Wau Collectif, a group of local musicians from the small fishing village of Toubab Dialaw, now a hub for Senegal’s bohemian art scene. Plus some modal roots music from a new compilation of South African jazz.
