Gwaith Sŵn's Sonic Darts
[Repeated from Monday 10pm.] Sound-art and transmission-art delivered by London sound art collective Gwaith Sŵn. This show has a reputation for playing experimental, process-based, generative, theatrical, angry, upside-down music — pretty much anything except pop. But what if it was pop arranged by a higher level jazz musician? That's what we're exploring today through Logical Rain, a talented trio from Leipzig who we're happy to present here. The first section is studio recordings, then we go into 40 minutes of pure live performance from an intimate venue. Further information can be found at sonicdartsshow.medium.com.
