BBC Radio 3 Late Junction: Bird calls and avant-garde country / Playlist lesen und anhören
Verity Sharp presents one of the strangest reissues this year, which brings together computer music pioneers David Behrman and Paul DeMarinis and artists Fern Friedman, Terri Hanlon and Anne Klingensmith for a collaboration they called ‘Western Performance Noir’.
The album ‘She’s More Wild’ was originally recorded in 1981 and features a mix of electroacoustic composition, performance art and satirical takes on self-help culture and country music. Also on the reissue front, we play a piece from Luis E Bacalov and Ennio Morricone’s 1971 album Pitturamusica and a slinky cut from Masahiko Sato’s near mythic score to the witchcraft animation Belladonna Of Sadness.
Elsewhere Verity tunes in to the sound of American bird callers who specialised in imitating certain game birds in the 1940s and 1950s, and we revisit Chris Merrick’s mesmerizing slow motion blackbird recording.
Produced by Alannah Chance.
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
