Verity Sharp with sound artist Tarek Atoui

Verity Sharp talks about invented instruments with sound artist Tarek Atoui. Plus Cumbia from Los Compadres del Ande and musical reflections on contemporary Greece.

Adventures in music; ancient to future. Verity Sharp talks to sound artist Tarek Atoui whose latest project, The Reverse Collection in the Tate Modern extension, features a fantastical array of instruments created by master instrument-makers to replicate the sounds of musical curiosities housed in the Ethnological Museum of Berlin.

Also in the programme, Cumbia from Los Compadres Del Ande, good old fashioned blues from Kate and Blind Willie McTell and musical reflections on contemporary Greece from Kristi Stassinopoulou and Stathis Kalyviotis.

Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.
