Puppets, percussion and a reconstructed pipe organ

Verity Sharp shares highlights from the world of experimental music, including the sounds from Colombian puppeteers Lib茅lula Dorada and Calum Builder鈥檚 reconstructed pipe organ.

Verity Sharp shares recent highlights from the world of experimental music, including a meditation on sculpture from Rie Nakajima and David Toop, and 'a requiem for a dying empire' - discordant industrial-choral music from mysterious UK duo Pram of Dogs. Plus: the sounds of Colombian puppet masters Lib茅lula Dorada; a heavyweight workout from percussion-forward and playful producers Nikki Nair and Foodman; and pensive explorations on Calum Builder鈥檚 reconstructed pipe organ.
