As a continuation of our previous episode, when we met Franq de Quengo,
co-director of the most important inclusive avant-garde festival in the
world Sonic protest, members of the French band
Les Harry's broadcast a special edition of Radio Tisto on 3rd March 2021 for Resonance's audience. The
history of this band and Radio Tisto started in 2013 when
Sonic Protest
invited Alan Courtis to lead an improvisation workshop with six autistic
adults from the group ‘Radio and Music’ at the day hospital of Antony
(through the association l’Elan Retrouvé), then Les Harry’s and a
bi-monthly radio show Radio Tisto on Radio Libertaire, which is a famous
anarchist independent radio in Paris, were born...the rest is history.
Jamaica! sent to them a file with their latest recording released by
Cafe Oto record
label
Takuroku
called
Leon
and Les Harry's made a wonderful improvisation over it, the voice and music
reminds me of many works by my favourite British avant-garde musician Robert
Wyatt from Soft Machine and his solo career from The End of an Ear and
Matching Mole. For further information about Radio Tisto please click
