Whether combining the rhythmic timbres of wood, metal and audience claps or duetting with the atmospheric and elegiac echoed sounds of water dripping into a metal basin, Bex Burch is a composer, percussionist, producer and improviser who emphasises space, repetition and aspects of chaos. These themes characterise an ongoing approach she describes as “messy minimalism”. Burch’s critically acclaimed 2023 debut solo album, 'There is only love and fear' was released via Chicago avant-garde label International Anthem and named The Guardian's Contemporary Album of the Month. She has previously released music as part of Boing! with Leafcutter John, and the Strut-released band Flock, a cosmic, boundary pushing quintet with Tamar Osborn, Sarathy Korwar and Danalogue. Burch also runs the label Vula Viel Records. https://bexburch.com/ This mix was broadcast on www.nessradio.com
