Backstage
The best global arts coverage from across the 成人快手.
Nikki Bedi introduces The Arts Hour Backstage; a new strand which captures the behind-the-scenes buzz at headline cultural events, as they take place.
This week Nikki is at rehearsal for 成人快手 Radio 3鈥檚 Open Ear concert of cutting edge experimental music, listening to the most extraordinary sounds and talking to the people who create them.
She hears from South African born Mira Calix, who is on stage tearing paper maps as a symbol of bringing down borders.
Turkish composer Ipek Gorgun discusses making an electronic soundscape from heatwave mirages on the horizon and Spanish percussionist Ana Gasco Gomez plays tom toms and cowbells as she chants a menacing nursery rhyme.
