Programme 24 -The Lake District Commons with Yasuaki Shimizu and Takashi Shirai
In the first part we hear from Takashi Shirai, a farmer with visionary ideas about the future of how agricultural practice should operate, through the formation of a “commons” which he describes to us on site of his unique farm – which also produces some of Japan’s most highly regarded mozzarella.
We then hear a specially-composed track from Yasuaki Shimizu – Lake District Suite Prelude, the first part of a story which will grow in the coming years.
In the second section we hear from Yasuaki Shimizu, who in an interview with Nick Luscombe, reflects on what soundtracking these lands means for him, his compositional process, and more.
