BBC Radio 3 - Freeness, Deep Tuning

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music tuning into nature, transcendence and space.

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music tuning into the natural world, devotional transcendence and spatial generosity.

Ensemble Dedalus collaborate with composer and field recordist Erik M to make inventive use of an acousmographe - a tool to analyse electronic music using graphic scores. Combining this with field recordings, they create a dense cacophony, blurring the lines between human and non-human worlds, where we hear the sonic language of whales, bats and amphibians recast through searching improvisations. 

New York-based pianist Eva Novoa leads a paired back trio featuring Masa Kamaguchi on bass and Gerald Cleaver on drums. Aerial silences are animated by crashing keys and the constant flurry of subtle textures for this masterclass in spatial generosity and deep listening. Elsewhere, through a celestial blend of South Indian devotional music, psychedelic electronic and transcendent free playing, Berlin multi-instrumentalist Seljuk Rustum constructs an immersive world of catharsis and freedom.
