Different Noises

Nearly half way through the year and new music continues to hit the in-box sometimes at a pace it is difficult to keep up with. Another mixed bag this time with the conventional cheek by jowl with the experimental.

Featuring:

STAGGS

The conventional meets the experimental in this weeks selection. Well known artists sit side by side with new faces to the World of Jazz. Acoustic and electronic music converge in fascinating new approaches to the music. Featuring

Victoria Kilarova

This weeks selection turns up the Different Noises knob to maximum. Whilst there are examples of traditional song-craft on display there are also ample examples of new visions and approaches.
