Radiophonic lullabies and distorted dreams

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents an hour and a half of explorations in sound, from distorted cello sounds to a radiophonic lullaby for a half-forgotten place and time.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents your weekly dose of adventurous explorations in sound. There’ll be distorted cello sounds from Seattle, composed by Nirvana's cello player Lori Goldston, who hopes to give her listeners room to breathe and dream. Leo Chadburn also brings a dream-like labyrinthine recollection of misty quarries, disused railway lines, and shadowy monumental factory buildings, via closed-mic spoken word, vibraphone, wine glasses and drones. Plus a sonic dedication to “Radium Girls”, female factory workers exposed to radioactive luminous paint, courtesy of Phew, Dieter Moebius and Erika Kobayashi, composed in the shadow of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011.
