7:12 Debut Album from Louisa Williamson

Composer and saxophonist Louisa Williamson joins us ahead of her Wellington concert to launch her debut album What Dreams May Come.  A hybrid of ambient music, modern big band jazz and classical, this music shapes its own world. Inspired by the works of Brian Eno and Maria Schneider, the album consists of four movements, through-composed, played by a seventeen-piece ensemble.

9:30 Deeply Human

Why are we so judgemental about how others beautify themselves? Do you wear eyeliner? Dye your hair? Ever gone under a laser, needle, or knife? When it comes to beautification, how far do you think is too far? And why are there such strong moral overtones to our conversations about where to draw the line?
