Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together: an Olympian session from Sofia Jernberg, Saint Abdullah and Viki Steiri

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a special Olympian session with Ethiopian-Swedish vocalist Sofia Jernberg, Iranian-Canadian producer duo Saint Abdullah and Greek cellist Viki Steiri.

The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad are upon us and Jennifer Lucy Allan is on hand to offer an Olympic Games for adventurous listeners. The main event is a long distance relay race of a session, as Late Junction invites a trio of experimental artists to collaborate remotely on a four-leg suite of specially-created pieces. Ethiopian-Swedish vocalist and composer Sofia Jernberg, Iranian-Canadian electronic producer duo Saint Abdullah, and Greek cellist and electronic artist Viki Steiri will be creating music together for the first time, passing tracks between each other like a baton, and taking as their inspiration the words of the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together.

Elsewhere, there’s a Heavyweight Sound Fight on the bill featuring Charlie Morrow, Sten Hanson and Carlen Santos; and we relive the Big Showdown between Scientist and Prince Jammy from 1980. Plus, Team GB’s The Utopia Strong take a plunge into the pool, and we’ll run a marathon in the company of Finnish band Circle.

On your marks… Set…
