contemporary classical

#16B Oliver Coates [CHAT]

I’m so pleased to be releasing the second instalment of Oliver Coates’ appearance on the podcast. It’s hugely inspiring to hear him talk about his relationship to music and his current ‘cello slime’ practice. We also talk about some of his previous albums ‘Shelly’s On Zenn-La’, ‘Upstepping’ and ‘Remain Calm - the latter a collaborative album with Mica Levi. Those things, and plenty more.

extra mess • Hidden Notes Festival Pt.1

Very happy to be releasing the first of a two part episode, a podcast snapshot of an exciting new festival, Hidden Notes. The festival is a much needed contemporary classical focussed weekend of stellar artists. In this first part I speak with Manu Delago, Emily Hall, Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch and Erased Tapes record label founder Robert Raths. There is plenty of live recordings throughout the episode to really place you there at St Laurence Church where much amazing performances we experienced.

It was a really incredible weekend and I jumped at the opportunity to try something new with the podcast. Happy listening, I’m sure you’ll wish you were at Hidden Notes yourself!
