Now That’s What I Call Non-Music ‘24!
Jennifer Lucy Allan plays small sounds for lowercase moods and 'non-music'. Expect a zither haunted by John Lennon, homemade wind instruments and a solo from a playground swing.
Jennifer Lucy Allan makes space for detail on this edition of Late Junction, zooming in on small sounds and lowercase moods from the “non-music” scene in the UK, a loosely affiliated group of artists who play with indeterminacy and record with all the bits left in.
There’s hesitant humming and feedback glints from Chinese artist Zheng Hou; delicate soundscapes spun with homemade wind instruments by Sholto Dobie; and a radiant piece for psaltery by Ecka Mordecai. This is the first piece Mordecai has written for said instrument, a form of early zither, which was given to her after a seance in New York. The guest explained that they had been visited by John Lennon and he wanted to give her the instrument to continue his work.
It’s a hard act to follow, but we’ll try with a new release from Iranian computer musician Sote, and a haunting recording of a lone playground swing in Russia, courtesy of the Sounds of the Year Awards.
