The Strangeness of Dub

BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, The Strangeness of Dub

Verity Sharp explores dub's connection to electroacoustic music with writer Edward George.

Writer Edward George joins Verity to explore dub's connections to electroacoustic music, from King Tubby to Stockhausen. Plus mbiras, violas da gamba and synth ragas.

Verity Sharp is joined by Edward George to explore the strange dimensions of dub. A writer, researcher and founder of Black Audio Film Collective, his work delves into dub as both a subgenre of reggae music and a sonic process. Dub’s influence can be found across electronic genres from techno to hip-hop, but can also be traced back to jazz and the experimental avant-garde. For Late Junction, George outlines the connections between Stockhausen and King Tubby via their techniques and approaches, and reflects on dub as a form of liberation.

Elsewhere Verity shares healing traditional music from Zimbabwean mbira master Ephat Mujuru, Molly Herron’s new compositions for an ensemble of violas da gamba, and Indian classical ragas reimagined for synthesizers by Arushi Jain. Plus supernatural creatures from traditional Japanese folklore transformed into sound through samples and loops from Yoyogi Koen.
