Forest songs and the sound of metal
Verity Sharp presents new music from Matmos, crafted entirely from metallic sounds, plus a collaboration between Aboutface and the Indigenous Amazonian Wampís community.
Verity Sharp tunes into the wild and wondrous sounds of music’s hinterlands. We hear new work from Baltimore-based duo Matmos, who continue their playful sonic experiments with commonplace objects, this time sculpting an album entirely from the resonances of metallic materials. Japanese free jazz icon Akira Sakata and Greek avant-garde guitarist Giotis Damianidis also present their first-ever duo recording, captured live in Brussels after years of intuitive collaboration.
Plus, experimental soundscapes from Latin America: Bogotá-born sound artist Colombian Drone Mafia joins forces with Mexican composer and violinist Gibrana Cervantes, and producer Aboutface shares an intercultural collaboration with the Indigenous Wampís community in the Peruvian Amazon, supporting efforts against illegal deforestation and ecocide.
