After Dark Festival: Deep Night Tracks

A special overnight event from the After Dark Festival with Manchester Collective, Memotone, Me Lost Me, Xenia Pestova Bennett, Ed Bennett, and Jason Singh and Jasdeep Singh Degun

Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Hannah Peel host an immersive overnight event recorded live at Radio 3's After Dark Festival at Sage Gateshead.

Live performances include a special collaboration between multi-instrumentalist Memotone and his father, the nature writer Chris Yates, who take us on a night walk through moonlit forests and nocturnal landscapes. Manchester Collective perform music spanning 900 years from Hildegard of Bingen to Edmund Finnis, including Arnold Schoenberg鈥檚 luminous 鈥楾ransfigured Night鈥� and Newcastle-based electronic folk innovator Jayne Dent aka Me Lost Me captures the nocturnal atmosphere with original songs and reworkings of traditional ballads. Plus pianist Xenia Pestova Bennett and composer Ed Bennett invite us to get lost in meditative music by Egidija Medeksaite and Gayle Young, as well as original pieces and a radical reinterpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations for piano and live electronics.

As dawn approaches, the sound artist and beatboxer Jason Singh presents an evocative soundscape of real, manipulated and vocalised 鈥渄awn chorus鈥� birdsong, followed by the Leeds-based sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun, who welcomes the new day with a traditional north Indian dawn raag.

Part of Radio 3鈥檚 After Dark Festival, a major new live music festival for 2022 in partnership with Sage Gateshead and TUSK Music, featuring some of the biggest names in contemporary, classical and experimental music. For all related content, search 鈥淎fter Dark Festival鈥� on 麻豆社 Sounds.
