In advance of the Sonic Explorations Festival which takes place on 1-3 October at Kings Place, the London Sinfonietta have released two new Podcasts to help you discover more about electroacoustic music.

In Podcast 2, Jonathan Harvey talks to Sara Mohr-Pietsch about the many different kinds of electroacoustic music which will be performed at the festival, as well as the composers, the ideas and concepts behind the music and IRCAM, the iconic music centre in Paris.

The London Sinfonietta launches a new series of podcasts with an exclusive interview with Sir Harrison Birtwistle about his work, influences, and three of his early pieces which are to be performed by the London Sinfonietta at the BBC Proms on 4th August. We are also delighted to welcome Sara Mohr-Pietsch, who also presents for BBC Radio 3's Breakfast show and Hear and Now, as the voice of our podcasts.
