Nina Perry – music, sound and radio.<\/p><\/div>\n

Martin Doyle<\/a> is one of several instrument makers interviewed in a feature radio programme called Sounding Post. Produced by Nina Perry<\/a> \u2013 an independent radio producer, composer and sound designer from London<\/a> who produces features with Falling Tree Productions<\/a> for BBC Radio 4<\/a>, Sounding Post will be airing on May the 9th at 11 am (GMT), and looks at the use of timber in instrument making around the world.<\/p>\n

Nina Perry\u2019s \u2018composed feature\u2019 Sounding Post traces a musical journey from the instrument-makers\u2019 workshops and music studios of Europe and America, via the woods of southern England across to the mpingo (African blackwood<\/a>) conservation project of Tanzania. The relationship that each individual in the process \u2013 forester, craftsman, musician and environmentalist \u2013 has with the wood reveals insights into our feeling for nature, the materials we derive from our surroundings and the irresistible impulse to express ourselves musically.<\/p>\n

From an Irish flute maker, Martin Doyle, an English Luthier, Martin Bowers, luthiers supplier David Dyke<\/a> and a Los Angeles based guitarist, Laurence Juber<\/a>, to the English forester Martin Charlton and members of the Mpingo Conservation Project<\/a> in Southeastern Tanzania and Scott Paul of the Greenpeace MusicWood campaign, we hear about the sonorous qualities of different species, the increasing issue of maintaining sustainable supplies and the people who connect the music to the tree.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounding Post also features some great acoustic music which includes Martin Doyle playing wooden flute.<\/p>\n
