BBC Radio 3 - Freeness, Speculative Visions

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music exploring speculative visions of nature.

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music exploring speculative visions of nature and daring ‘ballistic fire’ music.

Corey Mwamba presents the best in new improvised music. Double bassist Josh Jury Kobayashi-Mackay creates an immersive sound world based on their experiences running along trail paths. Here, they explore the ‘messy assemblages’ of nature through what they call ‘speculative free improvisation’ for a subtle sounding out of the hidden terrains of nature.

Descend into the deconstructed world of bassist Teté Leguía, saxophonist Martín Escalante and drummer Weasel Walter. The trio fuse noise and free jazz sensibilities to create ‘ballistic fire music’: a foreboding, visionary scream of distorted feedback, magnetic field disruption, found objects, and ferocious improvisation.

Elsewhere, Swedish pianist Tilda Björnberg and American guitarist Jon Lipscomb bring their instruments together for an unusual dialogue filled with soft clashes and lucid impressionism.
