BBC 3 Late Junction: Modern Love / Playlist anschauen und anhören !
Does the avant garde fall in love? Can you fall in love with a spoon? As couples across the country finish their Valentines dinner for two, Jennifer Lucy Allan settles in for two hours of the most unconventional takes on love that we can find.
Expect odes to inanimate objects, love cassettes from Tony Conrad’s Four Violins, amorous country funk from Jim Ford, songs for the lonesome by one-man outsider band Abner Jay and lover’s rock from Sonya Spence. Luc Ferrari’s steamy Danses Organiques also makes an appearance, centring on a strange meeting between two girls and a tape recorder accompanied with spiralling musique concrete and his observations on ‘organ-ic’ music, possibly the most sexy piece of musique concrete ever put to tape. Also tonight, Jennifer has democratic post-punk from Ut, a performance by the late cellist Charles Curtis and shimmering chords for the last Glaciation by Richard Skelton. Produced by Alannah Chance. A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 3
