BBC Radio 3 - Freeness, Miniature movements

Corey Mwamba presents improvised miniatures that make maximal sounds.

Corey Mwamba presents new music channelling the force of electrons, vignettes of Parisian street life and miniature pieces exploring maximal sounds.

Corey Mwamba presents the best in new improvised music. 

Turkish duo Fulya Uçanok and Zeynep Ayşe Hatipoğlu create a series of miniature pieces offering bodily, in-the-moment responses that generate maximal sounds full of space and scurrying movement. Elsewhere, Cécile Broché, Russ Lossing and Satoshi Takeishi use subtle turns of sound to pull us into the bustle of Parisian streets. Through short vignettes, they reenact sunsets, the cavernous echoes of subways and, somehow, even the warm glow of ovens in a bakery. 

Plus, Abe Mamet leads a luminous big band who had spent a month making music together in Italy, featuring Rahul Carlberg, Adriana Camacho, Luisa Muhr,  Emily Shapiro, fall raye, Rachel Musson, Daniel Carter and Gary Jones III. And, taking self-made improvisations as a base, sound artist Seventh Shadow of the Sun builds otherworldly structures infused with the kinetic force of tiny electron particles.
