musicologists also struggle to answer this questions, btw...

This week I'm joined (via Skype) by Clare Loveday, where we discuss the importance of collaboration, what happens when inspiration doesn't strike and the "best" (ahem ahem) of Brahms. I also (apparently) tell the rudest joke I know...

Featured music:
"Eine Kleine Dubstep" (Matthijs van Dijk, performed by the Signum Quartet)

"48km North-west of Kokstad" (Clare Loveday, performed by Duo Montagnard: Joe Murphy (saxophone) & Matt Slotkin (guitar))

"Palimpsest" (Clare Loveday, performed by Ceri Moelwyn-Hughes (alto saxophone) & Gerrit Jordaan (organ))

"City Deep" (Clare Loveday, performed by Naomi Sullivan (saxophone) & Luke Newby (clarinet))

"Heatwave" for clarinet & piano (Clare Loveday, performed by Guy Yehuda & Deborah Moriarty)

"Cycles"  for solo violin (Clare Loveday, performed by Waldo Alexander)

"Duodectet 1" (Clare Loveday, performed by the Royal College of Music Saxophone Ensemble, conducted by Kyle Horch)

I sit down with any and every South African composer and creator of music that will allow me to stick a recording device in their face, all while subjecting them each to the same questions week after week in an attempt to showcase (and catalogue) all the incredibly varied and wonderful musical voices South Africa has to offer.
