The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.

Two figureheads of the minimalist electronica pulse, Ikeda and Nicolai have been responsible for some of the most innovative and ground-breaking music of the last decade, redefining experimental electronica.

A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
