#3398: Collaborative Producers

For this New Sounds, listen to collaborative music by producers, from an English composer to an Ethiopian aid worker.  Hear a collaborative work from Deru, (Benjamin Wynn) an electronic music producer from Los Angeles and English composer Joby Talbot, called “Genus.”  It’s an electro-acoustic score for Wayne McGregor's ballet of the same title, based on Charles Darwin's discovery of evolution and commissioned by The Paris Opera Ballet. There’s also Anglo-Ethiopian music from producer Dan Harper, heading up the collective/project known as “Invisible System,” developed while he was an aid worker for a British NGO in Ethiopia.  The music is a mix of the Ethiopiques sound, combining the new and/or traditional with post-punk, dub, psych rock, drum'n'bass and other electronic programming, resulting in an original concoction that has been compared to “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.” And more.
