Oren Ambarchi’s Mixtape
Verity Sharp invites open-eared musician Oren Ambarchi to assemble a mixtape and we explore the sound of ‘Far East’ reggae, developed by the Chinese-Jamaican community in Jamaica.
Oren Ambarchi is a guitarist, composer and musical polymath with a reputation for deconstructing genre; combining elements of free jazz, rock and contemporary composition. His work hops from modern electronics to minimal improvisation; blistering noise to hushed songwriting, with an open-eared approach that he also brings to his label Black Truffle. For this mixtape he hand picks the most surprising cuts from his collection.
Elsewhere we shine a light on a particular form of ‘Far East’ reggae from Jamaica which was developed by Chinese-Jamaican producers on the island, we hear the sounds of forests thinking as devised by Norwegian string duo Vilda & Inga and ‘imaginary island music’ by duo LAGOSS.
Produced by Alannah Chance.
A Reduced Listening production for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 3.
