Hear and Now - Sonic Explorations Festival

Robert Worby presents new music from the London Sinfonietta's Sonic Explorations festival, recorded at Kings Place in London. Curated by composer Jonathan Harvey over the course of three days, the festival explores new and old electroacoustic music. In a selection of highlights from one of the days of concerts, Robert presents interviews with the composers and a series of works from the past 40 years, ranging from Stockhausen's Pole for 2 performed using shortwave radios by Sound Intermedia to the world premiere of Claudia Molitor's 'it's not quite how I remember it' for cello, percussion, tape and 3D film.
