Almost half of the programme, however, is dedicated to music with an equally complex narrative by composers from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, digitised from rare LPs from my own collection. The programme concludes with an intricate and exotic late-Soviet piece by Siberian composer Boris Mourashkin, which he characterises as ‘bio-energetic’.

In this episode, Wool Whipping by Tiger Gong:

"In 2002 I made a trip on an extended Silk Road path. Getting stuck on the Kyrgyzstan/Chinese border closed for one week by Chinese authorities after trouble in Xinjiang province, I decided to reach some half-nomadic shepherd family living beside one of the first jail built for the Silk Road, Tach Rabat. They pass summer in their yurts in the heights of the country, among other things preparing the felt of their yurts. Here is a sound extract of that mixed with an improvised basket game with the children. In the photos, you can see the bathroom and a Yurt, or the children and a horse from the shepherd."

Tiger Gong entered the sound world in 1981 with Terroristes Genetiques, probably the first radio show dedicated to noise music. Following that, he was part of ODD SIZE, a Parisian Label. And then he created Tiger Gong, a label with his friend KINK GONG, who was the first ethnomusicologist who specialised in local music from the Zomia area. He has continued to work with different radio sations, and has travelled extensively.

La sœur de l’Ange par Anaïs Prévost pour Jet FM.

Elle ne veut pas voir les ombres qui passent sur un mur blanc. Elle ne veut pas voir la béance d’une grotte.

Elle ne veut pas voir le vent qui passe par une fenêtre, ni les mots qui se détachent d’une bouche.

Elle ne veut pas voir

Ce qui a osé s’écarter.

Elle veut tendre la main et boucher la serrure.

Mon rêve est à toi.

Alors.

Elle laisse l’animal rentrer

Et s’allonge à ses côtés.

The Angel’s Sister by Anaïs Prévost for Jet FM.

No shadows overlooking the white wall.

No hole, no cavern.

No wind passing through the window, nor words fleeting from a lip.

She will not see

What has dared to suggest.

She will open her hand

And choke the lock.

“I am dreaming for you”

Therefore.

She lets the animal walk in

And lays down to his side.
