Verity Sharp presents a collaboration between two artists who’ve never met before, writer and reader-outer Roy Claire Potter and Korean multi-instrumentalist Park Jiha.
Influenced by linguistics and performance theory, Roy Claire Potter’s work examines what it means to articulate. For this session, they bring a selection of texts to talk through, pick from and try out. Park Jiha creates exploratory music rooted in traditional Korean instrumental performance. To this session she brings three instruments: a Korean hammered dulcimer called a yanggeum, a saenghwang which is an instrument made of 24 slender bamboo pipes attached to a bowl and played like a harmonica and a double-reed bamboo flute called a piri, which sounds similar to an oboe. Also in the show, some shimmering music for a newly developed instrument called a magnetic resonator piano where electromagnets are placed above the strings in a concert grand piano. And a chance to hear Mira Calix’s piece Nunu written for the London Sinfonietta and a gathering of live insects. Produced by Rebecca Gaskell, Katie Callin and Alannah Chance A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3
