Subject: RE: Singer & fiddler - how to arrange?
Anyone in the UK or who can fake it - go to Radio 3's "Listen Again" for tonight's "Late Junction".

It ended with an extraordinary version of the mediaeval Norse poem "Draumkvedet", a solo voice with the accompaniment added later. Mostly it was a slowly changing drone on folk winds with subtle electronic sounds. A lot of it could have been done on the fiddle, if you'd thought of it.

I missed the beginning but just stood stock-still in the hallway listening for ten minutes. The most amazing thing I've heard on the radio for months.

Info from the Radio 3 site:

Berit Opheim Versto (voice) & Karl Seglem (goat horn, electronics): Draumkvedet
Album: Draumkvedet
