BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, To the Moon

Verity Sharp with a playlist of adventurous music that feels the pull of the lunar.

Join Verity Sharp for a moonwalk through sound, giving a nod to music that feels the pull of the lunar.

International Moon Day is upon us! Join Verity Sharp for a moonwalk through sound, giving a nod to music that feels the pull of the lunar. We’ll drop in on a celestial nighttime vision, experienced from the shadows of the forest, courtesy of David Lynch; and in southern Albania, a shepherd, a police commissioner and a barber come together as Grupi Lab to sing stirring polyphonic folk songs by moonlight. Yoshikazu Iwamoto, meanwhile, offers a Buddhist anthem, “Shingetsu (Moon of the Heart)”, played on a Shakuhachi bamboo flute.

Elsewhere, composer Simon Fisher Turner’s new release is an intricate exploration of sound, reflecting on the restorative nature of “singing of ourselves and to ourselves”; and we’ve extreme and immersive noise from Pedro Vian and Merzbow’s new album, Inside Richard Serra Sculptures.
