Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music.

The Universal Liberation Orchestra was formed in the late 70s, taking on various formations until two members remained: brothers River and Tom Smith. Making what they called 鈥榣iberation music鈥�, which they describe as music to help us realise the 鈥減ossibilities available for all of us鈥�, they render their expansive visions through the light and shade of psychedelic folk-rock and reflective instrumentation. The Nigerian-British producer and singer-songwriter Klein offers a soulful collage of audio samples, distortions, drone and paired down piano solos to bring to life the harmattan winds of West Africa and connected vignettes of experiences in the UK and Nigeria. Also in the show, new music from a Norway-based improvised music trio comprising pianist Emilio Mendon莽a, double bassist Celio Barros and drummer Marcio Gibson. The only recording made to date by the trio, it's a three-way exchange that swells and wanes through waves of in-the-moment expression.
