Acoustic Ecologies
Corey Mwamba presents improvisers who draw inspiration from nature to acoustically explore their environments and the climate crisis.
In a programme first broadcast in May, Corey Mwamba presents improvisers drawing inspiration from nature to acoustically explore their environments and the climate crisis.
Instrumentalist, violinist and sound artist, Ruby Colley sent us a track from her new album Overheard. Through field recordings, disembodied voicing and stringed instruments melding classical, folk and improvisational styles, she examines the relationship between humans and their environments through sound. A contemplative reflection on climate awareness through domestic and local life - using sounds from her back garden, to a train depot and a churchyard in a thunderstorm.
Via bustling rhythms and an aerial expansiveness, Glass Canyon Ensemble take inspiration from scientific research on the colours, migratory patterns and songs of birds flying through Chicago. Their album, Collision Theory, compares the activities of birds and humans against the backdrop of the climate crisis. The collective features a range of avant-garde players including cellist Oli Harris, Ben LaMar Gay on fl眉gelhorn and poet Satya who muses, 鈥楽ix million citizens/Seven million winged migrations/Whose city is it?鈥
Elsewhere, a vintage recording from the Glasgow based Scatter Archive record label takes us back to 1994, where the late saxophonist Lol Coxhill and saxophonist Mark Browne filled a village hall in Wiltshire with sounds of freewheeling communion and joy.
