Brunhild Ferrari’s Mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from musique concrète and electroacoustic composer Brunhild Ferrari, tracing through lines of memory, contemplation, elemental forces and cabaret.

Verity Sharp presents a mixtape from the musique concrète and electroacoustic composer Brunhild Ferrari. Born in Frankfurt but based in Paris since her early twenties, Ferrari traces her musical memories across her mixtape, moving from childhood recollections of cabaret songs, to her love of jazz and fascination with musique concrète and alternative composition. In the mix, she also pays tribute to the work of her late husband Luc Ferrari.

Elsewhere in the show, Verity freewheels into the new season with music to mark the first day of spring. We’ll hear the sounds of beautifully-deconstructed bird song realised with the help of 3D ambisonic microphone recordings courtesy of British composer Natasha Barratt. Plus, new sounds from Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Macie Stewart and more from Lonnie Holley’s forthcoming release, Tonky.
