Sounds from Stockholm

Jennifer Lucy Allan encounters fearless music at Stockholm’s Edition Festival, plus bedroom post punk by RNA Organism and Dhrupad singing from the Dagar Brothers.

Jennifer Lucy Allan encounters fearless music at Stockholm's Edition Festival. Taking place at the end of February, the latest instalment of this annual event celebrated sixty years of the iconic Elektronmusikstudion. One of the world's oldest and most prestigious centres for electroacoustic music and radical sound art, the EMS is also home to the legendary Buchla modular synthesiser. We'll hear recordings of live performances recorded at this year's Edition as well as the thoughts of current EMS director, Mats Lindström, on the history of the studio as a hub of boundary-pushing sonic practice.

Elsewhere in the show, a track from the forthcoming album by experimental rock trio Still House Plants, plus old ballads performed with autotune switched to 'on' courtesy of Glasgow-based multi-instrumentalist Harry Górski-Brown (voice, pipes, fiddle, organ, bouzouki, electronics). And there's bedroom post punk by RNA Organism and Dhrupad singing from the Dagar Brothers.
