Sonic Currents

Corey Mwamba presents contemporary music from Spain, South Africa and the UK, exploring energetic currents, rituals and shared global histories of the black diaspora.

Corey Mwamba presents exciting new contemporary music. Taking inspiration from the conceptual Australian sculptor Ken Unsworth, sound artist and composer Kate Moore offers a sound that plays with stillness and movement, fluidity and structure - pulling and pushing sonic currents between these states with gentle builds and refined subtlety. Driven by ritual and the energy of fire, Spanish duo Agust铆 Fern谩ndez and Amidea Clotet explore what it means to set themselves alight with creative inspiration - responding spontaneously to stimuli and without waiting for permission to create a freewheeling ride of frenetic soundscapes.

Also in the programme, the South African multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Jiyani extends the motif of Herbie Hancock鈥檚 Suite for Angela. Stretching and tapping into that tribute to the activist Angela Davis through the prism of jazz-funk, Jiyani takes a global view of the experiences of black women through space and time across the Black Atlantic.
