Jessica Ackerley

Canadian guitarist Jessica Ackerley talks about her new release, plus Corey Mwamba presents new improvised music inspired by fantastical beasts and imagined ensembles.

Over the last decade the Hawai’i based, Canadian born guitarist Jessica Ackerley has established herself as a singular voice in improvised music. She garnered critical acclaim for her dexterous finger picking, her various collaborative projects, and her stripped back approach to harmonic, tonal and textural exploration. She reflects on letting go of inhibitions, her love for Jimi Hendrix and Jim Hall, and new music from her forthcoming project, SSWAN, featuring Patrick Shiroishi, Chris Williams, Luke Stewart and Jason Nazary.

Khimaira is a three headed monster: a lion head in front, a wild goat head on its back and a snake head at the end of its tail. The fantastical beast is brought to life through the eerie murmurations, unsettling howls and intense free play of the trio that shares its name.

Elsewhere in the programme; new solo music from Richard Scott who, amidst rich layers of analogue and modular synths, recreates the relational dynamism of playing in an ensemble.
