Match & Fuse: Debra Richards with Tori Handsley // 21-12-20

Representing the alternative in European music and attitude, Match&Fuse takes up Worldwide FM’s purpose of uncovering artists hell-bent on staying true to themselves. Instead of a review of the year, there were too many new releases to ignore, so the show plays tracks from forthcoming albums by Elephant9 and De Beren Gieren as well as singles from DemiGosh and Tåpp featuring And Is Phi, Chantelle Gabriella Jazz and Delali. Don’t miss the track by Aya Metwalli from a compilation released to raise money for artists impacted by the life-changing explosion in Beirut, and a piece for violin and turntable by Iranian composer Shiva Feshareki with Irish violinist Darragh Morgan performed at hcmf//. This month’s guest is Tori Handsley whose album “As We Stand” is just out. She chats harp, family, nature and the improv night, Freedom.
