FUTURE PEOPLE (ARE JUST OPTIONAL)

A concert from the Sonorities Festival as Panos Ghikas, Wobbly and Jennifer Walshe explore the limits of sound, text and time in Future People (Are Just Optional)

Kate Molleson presents the freshest cutting-edge and experimental new music.

Kate has a performance from Belfast's Sonorities Festival as Panos Ghikas, Wobbly and Jennifer Walshe fuse acoustic and sampled sound in a thrilling live show to explore the limits of sound, text and time in FUTURE PEOPLE (ARE JUST OPTIONAL). Kate chats to Jennifer and Panos about how the piece explores our relationship with history, our future and technology.

Kate also presents music by the East Asian ensemble Shio Mo, a Soliloquy for harp and electronics from the Bangor Music Festival and we celebrate 100 years of the 鲍鱼tv Singers with a work by Hannah Kendall inspired by the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Plus new music by guitarist Raphael Roginski, saxophonist John Butcher, a stunningly beautiful song setting by Anders Hillborg and pop star Eva Dahlgren and sound artist and composer Lia Kohl's audio love letter to unloved everyday sounds.
