Jez Nelson presents an exclusive session from composer and guitarist Pete M Wyer and renowned New York post-beat poet Steve Dalachinsky. Featuring Insomnia Poems, a new work by Wyer, which integrates poetry and music with compositional techniques designed to allow improvisation and spontaneity to flourish. The 61-minute piece was inspired by the Insomnia Drawings of Louise Bourgeois as well as both artists' experiences of sleepless nights.

Insomnia Poems also features soprano and actress Evelyne Beech, bass and contrabass clarinettist Chris Cundy, electronics and laptop performer Mike Cross as well as bassist Robert Perry.
