Episode 5: Invitations

 

Composers Shabaka HutchingsAlwynne Pritchard and Oliver Leith share their music and thoughts exploring the nature of the human relationships which shape the music they make.  

We listen to compositions rooted in friendship, explore attempts to decolonialise music, and intimate performances recorded in a toilet during lockdown. Join our CEO Susanna Eastburn MBE and composer Des Oliver for a unique insight into composing. 

This podcast was produced by Michael Umney (Resonance FM) and mixed by Chris Bartholomew, with the theme tune composed by Rob Bentall. Our recommendation at the end is for Alwynne Pritchard’s #RecordedDelivery project. 

In this episode, we listen to the following music and sounds:
