Starting in early 2023, our series "Deep listening: New Music" will be published as audio podcasts. Let's sharpen our ears for the music of the 21st century!

As his first guest in the new format, Lucerne Festival dramaturge Mark Sattler welcomes Swiss composer Jessie Cox. First, we talk about Jessie's career, which took him from Biel to New York. In the second part of the conversation, Jessie Cox talks about the new work he will write for the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra. Finally, the third and last episode of the conversation focuses on the term "Afrofuturism".

This conversation has been recorded in German. Future episodes might include talks in English.
