Composers Reeta Loi, Michael Wolters and Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser share their music and thoughts exploring queerness in music. What does it mean to be a queer composer today, and is there such a thing as queer music?  

From the playful to the divine, we listen to a drag character lost in space, gender-bending tracks, and work that plays with failure as a creative starting point. Join our CEO Susanna Eastburn MBE and composer/researcher Ruari Paterson-Achenbach for a unique insight into composing.

Composers Daniel Kidane, Clarice Assad, Lei Liang and Evelien van den Broek share their music and thoughts exploring the climate emergency in music. What does it mean to be a composer in times of a climate crisis? How does our awareness of the crisis enter our work, and how do we find meaning in our work in these times? 

From exploring cultural belonging and understanding our place on this planet through myth to the imperative of artists to be good storytellers, we listen to field recordings of extinct species and vanishing rainforests and music that reflects and inspires. Join our CEO Susanna Eastburn MBE and composer Des Oliver for a unique insight into composing.

Climate: Emergency (Daniel Kidane, Clarice Assad, Lei Liang, Evelien van den Broek) | Ep.9

From imitating birds to Japanese onomatopoeia, we listen to a song written for a stream in the Cairngorms, music that imitates the freedom and order of birds flying, and how can one make sense of climate grief through sound and movement.

Sound and Music, [no.signal] and TUSK Music are delighted to bring together the electrifying improvisors Ikue Mori and Maja S.K. Ratkje for their first ever duo performances together.

This unmissable string of dates brings together two truly iconic female figures of high-grade musical experimentation. Having pursued unseen angles in rock music in the late-seventies with the legendary DNA, the Japanese-born Mori has become one of the world’s most celebrated and respected improv auteurs, while since the turn of the century the Norwegian Ratkje has dazzled with her maverick vocal work, feted compositions and thrilling explorations of pure noise. These four rooms will be filled with wild sonic colours, forged by a pair of musicians who span two generations of fearlessly inventive soundcraft.

Ikue Mori left Tokyo for New York in 1977, began playing the drums and soon formed the legendary No Wave band DNA with Arto Lindsay and Tim Wright, appearing on the highly influential compilation No New York.

DNA dissolved in the early 80s and Mori began experimenting with drum machines, developing a singular improv style with an instrument people rarely associate with instant composition. As her technique evolved, she moved onto working with a laptop around 2000.

Over the past 3 decades, Mori has accrued an impressive reputation as an improvisor, testified by her stellar cast of collaborators, including John Zorn, Kim Gordon, Jim O’Rourke, Zeena Parkins, Mike Patton, Thurston Moore and an impressive discography courtesy of labels such as Tzadik and Mego. She regularly performs with Parkins as the duo Phantom Orchard and in various combinations with Zorn, and is a member of the trio Death Ambient with Fred Frith and Kato Hideki.

Over 3 decades since her first impact on avant garde music, Ikue Mori’s influence on musical explorers of all generations is still profound.

“Ikue Mori is one of the most respected musicians in the downtown scene, renowned for her abilities as an accomplished composer and improviser and as one of the foremost electronic music innovators.” (allmusic)

Maja S.K. Ratkje approaches music making with a broad palette and rare profundity. A graduate in composition from the Norwegian State Academy Of Music, her music is performed around the world by Oslo Sinfonietta, The Norwegian Radio Orchestra and many more.

Ratkje is also a major force in the world of noise and improvisation and is renowned for her solo performances, her work as part of groups such as SPUNK and Fe-mail and collaborations with artists such as Jazzkammer, Joelle Leandre, Jaap Blonk, Zeena Parkins and Stephen O’Malley.

Ratkje has an impressive discography of albums for labels such as Rune Grammofon, Important and ECM, and it is perhaps her album for John Zorn’s Tzadik label, River Mouth Echoes, that best exemplifies the considerable dynamic range of her work. A collection of tracks recorded over a decade, it includes orchestral pieces, electro-acoustic compositions, voice manipulations and sheer harsh noise and perfectly showcases the breadth of her musical ambition.

“Anyone who has seen or heard Ratkje perform live will know what a superb musician she is, and one who can genuinely be said to be extending the expressive range of the voice through technical and technological means…. Her work is celebratory and inclusive, an energising rallying call to those who are curious enough to peek out from behind the curtain of mainstream mediocrity.” (The Wire)


Ikue Mori master of deception

Sound and Music Podcast - Episode 3 - Composer-Curator (2017)

*** NEW 2021 SERIES OUT NOW: https://soundcloud.com/soundandmusic/sets/the-sound-and-music-podcast ***

Over one week in August 2018….75 young composers attended the 10th edition of the Sound and Music Summer School, hosted at the Purcell School on the outskirts of London. Having packed their bag, said goodbye to their families they travelled from across the UK, with the ambition in just under one week to create a brand new piece of music and see it premiered. 

With the help of a team of experienced, infinity knowledgeable and inspiring tutors and musicians, this is a week to immerse themselves in a world of composition and explore musical ideas away from the restriction of marking schemes and curriculums. 

Whether it’s the jazz, vocal, cross-cultural, advanced instrumental writing or film group this is a Summer School like no other.

Can an instrument be a sculpture, and vice-versa?

How can composers' archives be a source of inspiration?

And when does an artistic practice become a 'career'?

In this episode we listen in on two events from this year's Composer-Curator scheme: the SONA collective's 'Unpeeled' series in Sheffield, where Vicky Clarke performed loop-based manipulations through unique self-built instruments; and 'Synth Remix' in London, which drew on the rich legacies of female electronic music visionaries.

We talk with the participants about music, gender, technology and community, and hear excerpts from their live sets: from Vicky Clarke's playful, beat-based work and Jo Thomas' explosive textures, to the avant-song of Olivia Louvel.

Sound and Music Podcast - Composer-Curator (2018)

Whistle tones are very quiet sounds created through a very slow stream of air breaking across the embouchure hole. These are hard to produce and even more difficult to stabilise. Sustained pitches are easiest to produce in the instrument’s top register; low register pitches are very difficult. Composers should notate whether they want a stable or fluctuating pitch (fluctuations will be caused by movements in the air stream and will go through the higher partials of the harmonic series). This technique requires a change of embouchure position and air stream speed, so is most reliable when there is a suitable amount of time given for preparation. The precise beginning of the sound is also not always within the player’s control, and a sound coming from nothing is often the most effective method of production.


Whistle tones

Multiphonics: There is a wide range of available multiphonics on the flute, and the advent of the Kingma system flute, with its greater venting, has increased the possibilities exponentially, especially for alto and bass. Standard alto and bass flutes have close-holed key-work, so the multiphonic possibilities are greatly reduced in comparison with an open-holed C flute. The important thing to bear in mind when writing multiphonics is that they will generally only work within a small dynamic range. As a general rule, the closer together the two notes are in pitch, the quieter they will be, and conversely, the wider the intervallic range, the louder the dynamic. Some more stable multiphonics might work over a range of dynamics, but this very rarely covers the whole dynamic range of the instrument. A list of multiphonics can be found in the resources mentioned below. It should be noted that due to the increase in tube size, alto and bass flutes respond differently to certain fingerings than C flutes, and pitches may be altered or non-existent. This is particularly true of notes in the high register, since the bigger instruments have fewer high harmonics in the sound.
