70 years on from the HMT Empire Windrush’s arrival in Essex, a one-off Late Junction collaboration session explores the sonic reverberations of the Caribbean diaspora through UK culture.
British/Trinidadian poet, novelist and musician Anthony Joseph is joined by artists from other disciplines. Saxophonist Jason Yarde is at the heart of the UK jazz scene but as a serial composer, arranger and collaborator his work extends far beyond this; multi-instrumentalist, composer and conductor Hannah Catherine Jones (a.k.a. Foxy Moron), is one of the winners of this year’s Oram awards that recognise innovation in music and sound by the next generation of women artists; and pioneering dub producer and multi-instrumentalist Dennis Bovell, a British reggae legend and one of the originators of Lovers Rock. -
In a world of glowing screens and impenetrable CPUs, Late Junction presents a collaboration session where you can hear its inner workings, featuring two artists from the world of mechanical music.
Pierre Bastien is a French composer and experimental musical instrument builder. For this session he assembled large meccano-style cogs to create rhythms, played prepared trumpet recorded onto a wax cylinder, used a fan and shredded paper for percussion and set up a circular system of flutes.
Aleks Kolkowski is a composer obsessed with sound recording and reproduction techniques of the turn of the century. To the session he brought a rare antique phonograph, musical saw, a stroh violin (mechanically amplified by a metal horn) and a 1920s mechanical zither.
Having never played together before the pair spent the day in BBC’s Maida Vale studios to create a sonically rich selection of new pieces exclusively for Late Junction. -
