Trainhopping with Hurray For The Riff Raff, and jazz, classical and ambient meet in a Requiem Mass
Manage episode 439960575 series 5383
Alynda Segarra has been making music as Hurray For The Riff Raff for nearly two decades. They ran away from NYC as a queer teen to ride trains across states—busking, sleeping rough and meeting all sorts of characters. They then settled in New Orleans and their music career kicked off, but their ninth and latest album, The Past Is Still Alive, finally shares the memories of those formative years of grief, love and finding community on the fringes.
Jazz drummer Laurence Pike’s new album is called The Undreamt-Of Centre and it’s a modern take on the requiem mass. Influences come from places as different as modern classical music, Japanese environmental ambient music, fourth world electronics, free jazz and the choral traditions of Estonia. Laurence joins Andy to explain how all those things come together.
