BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, YoshimiO’s mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from Japanese multi-instrumentalist and vocalist YoshimiO.

Verity Sharp shares the latest mixtape from multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and improviser YoshimiO, who is best known as the drummer in Japanese rock band Boredoms.

Verity Sharps shares the latest Late Junction mixtape, on this occasion curated by Japanese multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, improviser and serial collaborator YoshimiO. Perhaps best known as the drummer in Japanese rock band Boredoms, she has been an inescapable presence in the avant-garde scene for decades, founding experimental ensemble OOIOO, as well as fusing Indian raga traditions with punk and electronic music with the Saicobab quartet, and collaborating with international musicians including Kim Gordon and Robert Lowe among others. Her latest project YoshimiOizumikiYoshiduO sees her link up with producer IzumikiYoshi for a collaborative album they’ve called To The Forest To Live A Truer Life Out. With YoshimiO using the piano as her primary instrument for the first time since her youth, the pair fed her raw vocals through modular synthesizers to create a rich sonic tapestry of fractured melodies and vocal acrobatics.

Alongside the mixtape, sound designer Suki Sou focuses in on the art of deep listening, Rob Mazurek leads an intergalactic voyage with his Exploding Star Orchestra, and singer-songwriter and architectural researcher Mayssa Jallad reflects on the "Battle of the Hotels" which happened in Beirut at the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War, from October 1975 to March 1976.
