Strange Loops

The best and latest in cutting-edge and experimental new music. Exclusive recordings, new releases, interviews and features from around the UK, Europe and across the world.

Tom Service with the latest releases and live performances of new music from across the UK. Tonight, we hear George E. Lewis's Tales of the Traveller featuring soprano Nina Guo as soloist with the London Sinfonietta; the Hebrides Ensemble perform Helen Grime's Pierrot Miniatures, inspired by the commedia dell'arte charcter and the poems of Albert Giraud; and the Villiers Quartet perform Jack Van Zandt's Strange Loops, a title referencing a mathematical paradox from the writings of scientist Douglas Hofstadter. Plus, the latest releases from composers Annette Vande Gorne, Clara Kim, Leo Chadburn and Japanese cassette tape artist Aki Onda.
