Have we lost the art of doing nothing? We live in a world that reveres the busy and productive, but…
We continue to plunder the recordings from our Lateness stage at TUSK Virtual, an annual festival in the north east that focuses on left-of-centre music. In partnership with Radio 3’s programme Freeness, we handpicked three exciting acts from the region: Anglo-American folk duo Cath and Phil Tyler; composer and turntablist Mariam Rezaei and electronic artist Stephen Bishop; and new jazz quartet Caröm.
Expect more off cuts from their live performances plus unique collaborations which mix and match members from each ensemble: think turntables colliding with traditional vocals; improvised double bass with folk guitar. Elsewhere we have Kate Carr and Sheryl Cheung’s music made from bicycles; Los Angeles-based musician Ana Roxanne’s ambient explorations of her intersex identity; and reflections on Malian society in a brand new release from singer Nahawa Doumbia. Produced by Katie Callin and Alannah Chance. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
