One of the UK's most celebrated young composers, Anna Meredith, was commissioned by one of the world's most gifted recorder players, Erik Bosgraaf, with the support of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, to write a new piece. Inspired by the folding of paper, Anna created five miniatures for recorder and ensemble, each based on an origami base-fold. She chats to Ben Eschmade about how it all came about...

As I Am

A while back, I had an exhilarating and yet scary vision during a psychedelic trip. I was by myself in my apartment -a tiny flat in a tower- in the heart of downtown.

At the peak of the trip, I stepped out of my body and saw myself from out of the window somewhere in the sky; as if my soul was hovering in the air outside and was looking at my body sitting on the couch in my apartment. Then I looked out of the window looking for the person who was observing me. I didn't see myself, but I saw all the towers and their concrete walls turned to glass. All the buildings looked transparent and it was as if I could see through all the apartment units and what lied within them. They looked like loads of see-through cubes stacked on top of each other;  a never-ending massive tesseract.

At the end of the trip I couldn't distinguish what's real and what's not. I laid on the bed thinking that insanity is as real as I am seeing it. I was thinking of all the loved ones and how they will forget about me if the state I am in is to remain permanently. This worry of an altered reality persisting for the rest of my life was one of the scariest experiences I've ever had. 

This mix starts dark and progresses to lighter tunes comprising of melodic and progressive songs I really enjoyed listening to. I listened to some of these songs on that trip as well.

Mahan Esfahani is an internationally celebrated harpsichordist. He's working to take the harpsichord beyond the realm of early music and into the mainstream. I met Mahan when he was in Ireland for the Kilkenny Arts Festival, and found out more about his continuing mission to show us that this musical instrument is still relevant today. 

This report was originally broadcast on Arena on RTÉ Radio 1, Monday 10th August 2015.

Clavicembalista, organista, direttore d'orchestra e musicologo, Esfahani è una figura vulcanica ed estremamente creativa, in grado di portare freschezza e talento vero nel mondo della musica classica.

he masterful Do Not Sit on the Furniture come back with another of their superbly deep house offerings, with Namito & Naghib Shanbehzadeh at the helm for new single 'Sharab.’ Namito has shown his expertise before on huge labels such as Kompakt, Systematic, & Sol Selectas, and joins forces with Naghib Shanbehzadeh to mesmerising effect.

It starts off with brooding bass down low, and distant spiritual vocal sounds. Then some whispers appear in the foreground and the whole thing grows ever more enchanting. When the intoxicating middle eastern strings and trance including wails come in, your mind really is carried away on a blissful groove.

A dub and instrumental make this perfect for any setting and another fine offering from this essential label.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.
