Low, slow and sleazy sounds with babyschön, in the studio for the early afternoon shift…
Composer, poet, and pioneer of the Byzantine era, Kassia stands as the earliest known female composer in history. Born in 9th-century Constantinople, Kassia broke new ground with her liturgical hymns, many of which are still performed today. A woman of profound intellect and spirituality, she not only composed over fifty hymns but also engaged in the theological and philosophical discourses of her time. Her legacy, long overshadowed by the centuries, is now being rediscovered, revealing her as a significant figure in the development of early sacred music. For one hour, NTS delves into the enduring impact of her work on the musical canon.

There are several bands called Swallows:
A) Swallows is Sian Macfarlane from the weirdest core of the Midlands. Inspired by rainfall, speaking backwards, creeped-out ambience and clustering samples her music seems to draw a lot from a playful recording techniques whilst guitar and/or keyboard lines swell and underpin the songs, often accompanied by some extra dissonance and her ghostly vocal. www.myspace.com/swallowsoverhead
B) “Swallows is an alternative band out of Minnesota that has invoked what people are calling 'rock and roll, ugly and beautiful, profane and spiritual.' This quartet brings a blend of classic blues, a barrage of eclectic instruments, and warm yet gritty Nick Cave vocals.” - David Buchanan, Consequence of Sound Swallows' line-up features the collaborations of Jeff Crandall, Aaron Kerr, Tyson Allison and Frank Spencer.
