Islands | Nick Luscombe's Sounds of Japan
Islands | Nick Luscombe's Sounds of Japan
A new series of three programmes in which the Tokyo-based DJ, producer and broadcaster Nick Luscombe explores the music and sounds of Japan past and present in a virtual journey from the country’s remote outposts to its vast metropolis.
In this first programme we hear music from or inspired by island life and water from traditional Okinawan sounds and instruments to surf-rock and electronica.
