An hour of eclectic new music, brought to you by Sound and Music.
As heard on Resonance FM on Friday 9 May 2025 at 12pm and a repeat listen on Wednesday 14 May 2025 at 3am, hosted by Matthew Barley.
Matthew Matthew Barley has created a unique international career full of improvisation, new music, cutting-edge computer technology, collaboration with jazz and Indian musicians, education, and arranging – but always with cello playing at the heart.
“Music that has inspired me over the last year or two to write my own album – Light Stories.
This includes tracks by my stepchildren, Misha Mullov-Abbado and DJ Katiusha, and also dear friends Sam Lee, Graham Fitkin and John Metcalfe…as well as superstar Jacob Collier whose outlook on creativity was very liberating for me and helped with my writing.
And a wild card of Emile Mosseri and Sam Gendel, which Katiusha put me onto – so gorgeously original and quirky.”
