An hour of spellbinding solo piano recordings from one of the most fascinating musicians of the past century. Born Yewubdar Guèbrou in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, into an upper class family, she was classically trained in piano and violin. The Emperor Haile Selassie cruelly vetoed this project, to the young artist's great dismay. Her dream cruelly dashed, she sank into a deep depression. From then on, she had no other thought but to withdraw from the world and turn to religion.  She spent the rest of her years living out these holy orders, first in Addis, and eventually in Jerusalem, and she continued to write and record music – a truly singular style of piano composition, as indebted to the proto-ambience of Erik Satie as it is to the Ethiopian tradition. This mix, selected by NTS, features recordings from "Church of Kidane Mehret", a new archival release from Mississippi Records, including previously unheard material.

Closed Circuits

Closed Circuits has been played on NTS shows including Round Trip, with Janitor Of The Arcades first played on 30 March 2015.

Conceived as a banishing ritual, the nine songs of Closed Circuits’ first album arrange themselves into three parts, representing Isis, Apophis and Osiris – roughly growth, destruction and rebirth. Upon this structure the songs coalesce into a coherent whole, designed for maximum affect when listened to from start to finish.

Closed Circuits is a young man from an old island.

He knows that Chaos never died, and that we can be free.
