Iain Chambers’ Midsummer mixtape

Verity Sharp presents a Midsummer mixtape from experimental composer and producer Iain Chambers.

Join Verity Sharp to ring in Radio 3’s ‘Midsummer Dreaming’, a night-long celebration of adventurous radio feature-making with an exclusive Midsummer mixtape from experimental composer and producer Iain Chambers.

Iain Chambers is a sound-artist, composer and producer. Working across recorded music, site-specific installations and radio production. His work explores the potential of sound to unlock the musical potential of place, material, and memory through field recording, electronic composition, and sound design.

Iain’s mixtape presents a host of ear-bending sounds that capture the spirit of the longest day of the year.

Elsewhere in the show, there’s more celebrations of all things solar with Aho Ssan’s textural and poetic jazz inflections on ‘The Sun Turned Black’, and we’ll be hiding in the shade with the flowing, meditative tones on Memotone’s new project ‘Warm Shadows’.

Produced by Alex Yates
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3
