Prathap Ramachandra and Loula Yorke in session

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents the latest in our series of improvised collaboration sessions, bringing South Indian percussionist Prathap Ramachandra and modular synthesist Loula Yorke together for the first time in the Late Junction studio.

Born and raised in Bangalore, Prathap Ramachandra is an internationally acclaimed percussionist specialising in Carnatic music and rhythms, having begun his training at the age of two. Now based in London, he combines his classical practice with a deep commitment to cross-cultural collaboration. Loula Yorke is an award-winning composer, sound artist and modular synthesist. Exploring movement and psychoacoustics in her work, she uses a custom-built wide-frequency analogue modular synthesiser to create deep, trance-inducing sounds at the intersection of rave, minimalism and drone. Together, they create a new suite of improvised music exclusively for Late Junction.
