Pre-colonial Peruvian seashells and liberatory cycling garments

Join Verity Sharp for another ninety minutes of ear-bending sounds for adventurous listeners, including wonky soul from Carolina and chamber music dedicated to women鈥檚 liberation.

Verity Sharp takes the stage for another ninety minutes of ear-bending ventures in music and sound, including earnest, wonky lo-fi soul from the hotbed of Black excellence and revolutionary sounds that was the 1960s campus of the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Plus, new sonic adventures for pre-colonial indigenous Peruvian Chim煤 ceremonial instruments - whistles and warm water seashells used as trumpets - courtesy of researchers Dimitri Manga Ch谩vez and Ricardo L贸pez Alcas.

Elsewhere, a track from the cassette vaults of short-lived '80s cult Japanese label DD Records, whose tightknit network of artists were dedicated both to the art of tape-trading and to making infectuous and strange-sounding songs; and there's paired-back chamber music from Copenhagen-based trio Bloomers, a group named after the inventor of the liberatory women鈥檚 cycling garment, the bloomer.
