Arab Electronica - Levitate!

A selection of more unusual and experimental Arabic and Middle-East inspired music for Saturday night. The show is informed by Fari B's recent trip to Exit festival and a collection of politically charged titles and content.

In the second half of tonight's show, we feature a variety of compositions created on a very unusual optical synthesiser, the ANS. Designed by Evgeny Murzin in 193, the ANS was an early Russian synthesiser that used an optical scanning head to control a bank of sine wave oscillators. The programme features works by Alfred Schnittke, Edward Artemiev taken from the album "Electroshock Presents: Electroacoustic Music"
