Podcast- Carole Finer IMPROVISOR
-
- Music
This podcast conversation is extremely special as Carole Finer sadly passed away earlier this year. I had the great privilege of performing with Carole and in this conversation we talk about her beginnings in experimental and improvised music, going back to the 60’s in London, at the start of this fascinating scene. She mentions many musicians and interesting artists she collaborated with and I have listed them all in the show notes. She talks about her experiences of performing, as far ranging as a large ensemble concert in Hampstead Town Hall to performing at the Munich Olympics in 1972. It was insightful and incredibly inspiring to hear about Carole’s life as an artist, a musician and sound artist and her world travels collecting field recordings. She talked so effortlessly, as she did on her own radio show ‘Sound Out’ on Resonance FM for many years. Her generosity and humility as a musician touched many people including myself and I feel privileged to have met her and grateful to have had this conversation.
