Verity Sharp
Verity Sharp celebrates invented instruments, with music from Harry Partch, Orchestra of Spheres and blu-bop group Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.
Adventures in music; ancient to future. Inspired by the fantastical creations of sound artist Tarek Atoui, featured in yesterday's programme, Verity goes in search of more invented instruments. Discoveries include American composer and instrument builder Harry Partch; Orchestra of Spheres, featuring Baba Rossa on 'biscuit tin guitar'; and blu-bop outfit B茅la Fleck and the Flecktones whose lineup includes 'Drumitar' virtuoso Future Man.
Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.
