Synth Seances

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music that looks into the beyond: spiritual synths, ritualistic folk, time-travelling breath and psychedelic fellowship in free play.

Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music that looks into the beyond: expect spiritual synths, ritualistic folk, time-travelling breath and psychedelic fellowship in free play.

Soft sunrises meet mechanical clattering and wild, glitching birdsong by way of Fjall, a quartet tuning into ritualistic frequencies that features Martin Archer, Fran Comyn, Jan Todd and Richard Jackson. South African pianist Thandi Ntuli, meanwhile, collaborates with the LA-based producer Carlos Niño to reimagine the question of freedom in South Africa, with meditations on the symbolism of the rainbow. Shapeshifting synths glide under and around the atmospheric rush of rainfall, wind and waves; whilst layers of human breath dig and search through time for healing alongside hushed prayers. Elsewhere, Daniel Carter - who has spent many years honing an improvisational practice of playing outdoors - pulls listeners into a zone of psychedelic fellowship. The soundscapes of New York City burst into streams of new colour: punk mosh-pits dance with operatic vocals, lightning-streak guitar riffs and comical sound effects in the creation of a rich new year's baptism.
