Harvest Time
Verity Sharp picks adventurous music inspired by agricultural cycles and their rituals, with tracks from Mary Stark, Sordure and Matmos.
It’s harvest time! Verity Sharp soundtracks the end of an agricultural cycle and explores what we are left with - soil, weeds and vegetal remains to be composted, and a sense of both ruin and regeneration. We hear new work from Sordure, reimagining traditional Occitan cançon; a folk number from British singer and fiddle player Chris Wood; and a piece from Mary Stark inspired by The Wicker Man. Plus a dig into the archives, with tracks from Throbbing Gristle and Matmos.
