“Verity Sharp presents a cosmic Late Junction collaboration session between the innovative violinist and composer Gibrana Cervantes and eclectic and award-winning turntablist NikNak. The two artists meet each other here for the first time, to join in with Radio 3’s Gustav Holst 150th birthday celebrations by improvising a set of pieces inspired by the British composer’s famous orchestral suite, The Planets.
Gibrana Cervantes is a violinist who has a gift for combining noise and melody in the creation of emotive, contemplative compositions, pulling from her background both as a classically-trained musician alongside her roots in Mexico’s metal scene. A notoriously powerful live performer and improviser, her most recent album Vórtex Submarino dexterously combines manipulated violin, drone and field recordings. She is a member of the metal band Vyctoria and Mexico City-based experimental collective Amor Muere.
NikNak is a Leeds-based Londoner and an award-winning turntablist and multidisciplinary sound artist. Since releasing her debut album Bashi in 2018 on Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records, she’s become known for her ability to use turntable scratching, processing and reversing to create intensely cinematic soundscapes through an imaginative fusion of jazz, jungle, trip-hop and experimental sound worlds. Inspired by Black spirituality, her most recent album Ireti delves into Afrofuturism.
Elsewhere in the show, sound sculptor Klara Lewis offers up a mutant acid techno tribute to her friend, the composer and former Editions Mego label boss Peter Rehberg; plus there are percussive sounds made from canoes and fishing gear by N’golá-speaking anglers from São Tomé and Príncipe; and an expansive deconstruction of an Anatolian folk song from Istanbul-born, Berlin-based sound artist Başak Günak”
