Corey Mwamba presents free jazz and improvised interactions with a variety of environments, from a conversation between voice and wind to the sound of seeds popping in the heat of Wanstead Flats, London, plus a sound poem by the duo Blanc Sceol.

The collaborative project of Hannah White and Stephen Shiell, Blanc Sceol has just released a new album entitled Follow Your Ears. It鈥檚 a project rooted in the pair鈥檚 deep listening practice and involves the weaving-together of field recordings and improvisations on amplified objects, voice and waterphone. With a preview of his forthcoming album I Was Too Young To Hear Silence comes saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi, meanwhile, who treats us to a long solo improvisation recorded late at night inside the cavernous parking structure below a hotpot restaurant in Monterey Park, California, a place he defines as 鈥渁 vacant space for a new kind of collaboration - between saxophone and silence, between noise and reverberation.鈥�

Elsewhere in the show, we listen to a track that Estonian-Latvian avant garde vocalist, eleOnora sent in via the Freeness inbox. Taken from her new album Tuulajamuud, the piece captures the spontaneous interaction between eleOnora and the wind blowing through some pipes, somewhere outside, at a location she says she鈥檚 now forgotten.
