Underground Rivers, Ancient Puzzles and Earth Songs
Verity Sharp delves deep for two hours of music for adventurous listeners, with music inspired by Tokyo’s underground rivers, Greek legends and ancestral Australian song cycles.
Verity Sharp delves deep to dish up two hours of music for adventurous listeners. There’ll be sounds inspired by Tokyo’s underground rivers from Japanese musician Toshimaru Nakamura, and music made in the remote highlands of Tasmania modelled on ancestral song cycles more than 40,000 years old. Plus abstract electronics from the Glasgow-based artist Helena Celle, as well as percussion named after the legend of the Gordian Knot, an ancient puzzle often associated with Alexander the Great and now used as a term for something incredibly complicated that can only be solved by bold action.
