Sounds of 2023
As the year nears its end, Verity Sharp revisits our favourite adventurous sounds of 2023, with contributions from Ale Hop, Lucy Liyou and Late Junction listeners.
Verity Sharp revisits our favourite adventurous sounds of 2023. With the help of some of this year's featured artists (including Ale Hop and Lucy Liyou) together with contributions from listeners and the production team, she'll retrace our musical steps through the past twelve months to share standout moments from gigs, collaboration sessions and album releases. From a collection of recently-resurfaced Flamenco recordings from the start of the century to the haunting ballads of Oh Me Oh My by American experimental musician and visual artist Lonnie Holley (who also curated a special Late Junction mixtape in 2023), we celebrate another year spent listening to kaleidoscopic music from around the globe.
Elsewhere in the show, improvised sketches with invented instruments recorded between Brazil and India by Eloine and a folk song inspired by moonlight from the new album by The Furrow Collective, We Know By The Moon.
Produced by Silvia Malnati and Cat Gough
