Ouvala are Ian Hawgood (Home Normal) and Tim Diagram (Handstitched). Our feature is their latest release, their second – “Multiperspectivity” which features nine collaborative pieces, thrown back and forth
several times. It is a characteristic of sound, short stories and mystical adventures where both musical perspectives are projected to the listener.
I don’t know about you, but music makes me high. Everytime I discover new sounds to share with you, there’s a rush, an excitement, even a dread – I wonder – will I feel like this again? Inevitably I do, which is why I love making these programs. We start with two energetic UK ensembles who love the music of West Africa, Me and My Friends and Vula Viel (pictured). We then move through progressive psych to folk to orchestral pop to Americana to post punk and end with the show with a BANG! thanks to a stunning duo – Robbie Fulks and Linda Gail Lewis who certainly go Wild Wild Wild.

The two bring their unique talents together in a harmonious confluence where the listener is guided on a soothing and often surreal journey. Their release, Middle of The Meds is our feature release for this edition.
