Friday’s RADICAL SCOTLAND on Repeater Radio is now up on Mixcloud. The theme, RADICAL BAGPIPES. Chat and music from four pipers innovating within and beyond the Scottish tradition: Brighde Chaimbeul, Matthew Welch, Donald Lindsay and Malin Lewis. We discuss 3D printed bagpipes, pibroch, Anthony Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music, Canntaireachd, Bulgarian Kaba Gaida and much more!
And it’s followed by our resident turntable genius Mariam Rezaei’s extraordinary international bagpipe mix. You won’t have heard anything like this before.
And if you dig that, check out Mariam’s new show on Repeater Radio, These Are The Breaks, exploring the recent history and cultural politics of turntablism.
Track lists for the show and mix at the bottom of the post.
