Hannah Kendall in conversation and Oliver Leith's Doom and the Dooms

Soosan Lolavar with live performance of new work by Oliver Leith and Cassandra Miller plus an interview with composer Hannah Kendall

Soosan Lolavar interviews Hannah Kendall about the influences behind the works on her recent portrait album Shouting Forever into the Receiver; we hear a new work from Cassandra Miller performed by Apartment House at London's Cafe Oto; and from this year's Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Oliver Leith's Doom and the Dooms for electric guitar and ensemble, performed by Sean Shibe, 12 Ensemble and GBSR Duo, conceived as a live set by an imagined band from an alternative reality.
