Jennifer Lucy Allan with a remote collaboration featuring jaw harp, bagpipe and fiddle.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a remote collaboration session between Australian fiddle player Adam Cadell and Estonian piper and saxophonist Katariin Raska.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents an exclusive collaboration session, recorded remotely, between two artists who have never met: Australian fiddle player Adam Cadell and Estonian piper and saxophonist Katariin Raska. 

Brisbane-based Adam Cadell is a fiddle player and writer interested in questioning the notion of the avant-garde. His influences are wide-ranging, having studied under the composer Henry Flynt and spent a period in West Africa studying one-stringed fiddles from Ghana and Senegal.  His work is characterised by a sense of dissidence and a continual probing of the preconceptions around the violin.  

Katariin Raska, based in Tallinn, has studied Estonian traditional music since she was 18, and has a special interest in choral and wind-based orchestral music. Her main instruments are jaw harp, soprano saxophone and Estonian bagpipes, and her music brings influences from traditional music into the setting of free improvisation and extended playing techniques. 

Elsewhere in the show there’s Welsh dub from Llwybr Llaethog, experiments in gamelan-infused guitar music from John Cale, and acid-fried dancehall from Jamaican vocalist RDL. Plus we plunge headlong into spring with close-up recordings of Slovakian birdsong recorded by Izabela Dłużyk, who has been blind since birth, as well as South African jazz from The Ibrahim Khalil Shihab Quintet, from their overlooked debut album Spring.
