蜜芽传媒

Kate Molleson and Gillian Moore present 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3's series exploring the pivotal 'modern' musical works of the 20th century, the groundbreaking composers who created them, and the radical cultural and artistic movements which gave rise to them. In this episode, Kate explores the philosophical musical world of Talib Rasul Hakim, leading to full performance of his work Placements (1970), scored for piano and percussion. Along the way, we visit the radical Dance Theatre of Harlem and marvel at the beauty of Chinese calligraphic brushstrokes.

'We should try to come to the realisation that the process of creativity is a religious act. It is an act affirming life ...' ~ Talib Rasul Hakim in 'The Black Composer Speaks' (1978)
