I have a chat with Rebecca Saunders, who works very closely with musicians to find the sounds she loves. We speak about the new piece (Skull) which we have just premiered at the Achtbrücken Festival, but also about other pieces and musicians who have inspired her.
I’ve woven small fragments of her music into the episode. If you want to have a proper listen to the entire pieces, the links are below.
