Verity Sharp welcomes in the spring with a selection of adventurous and disruptive music.

Verity Sharp welcomes in the spring with a selection of adventurous and disruptive music, including an outing for bagpipes and experiments in techno.

It’s out with the old and in with the new, as Verity Sharp welcomes in the new season with a selection of adventurous and disruptive music. The iridescent melodies of Fennesz’s new album Senzatempo, the results of a collaboration with Italian duo Ozmotic that began during the pandemic, help lighten the mind after the burdens of a long winter; and experiments on prepared turntables from the Chicago-based Pure Techno collective usher in the bursting energy of spring.

In anticipation of the forthcoming record Since Time Is Gravity, Joshua Abrams’ Natural Information Society explores an expansive form of minimalism, based around repeated and overlaid rhythmic patterns and ostinatos. At its core, the sound of the guimbri, the three-stringed North African lute played by Abrams, with its healing and hypnotic powers.

Elsewhere in the show, a new track from Scottish smallpipe virtuoso Brìghde Chaimbeul, a previously unreleased dreamy piano piece by composer Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru and soundscapes from the remote Finnish island of Örö courtesy of British artist Rob St. John.
