Max Reinhardt presents highlights from the Late Junction stage in the Lavish Lounge at the 2013 Latitude Festival. On tonight's programme composer Anna Meredith brings her cello-encrusted live band to perform music of symphonic scale with dancefloor intensity, crossing all boundaries between concert hall and festival stage, acoustic and electronic composition. Multi-instrumentalist Nancy Elizabeth conjures up old English folk traditions alongside the soundworlds of Ennio Morricone and Arthur Lee, and brings it all together with her beautifully unadorned voice. Post-tropical polyphonic populists from Minas Gerais in Brazil, Graveola draw influence from kitsch pop radio and dusty classical vinyls to create a sound they call "carnival-cannibalism", mixing the canon of 20th-century Brazilian music with funk, Latin, baroque and blues. Max also heads off around the site to meet festival-goers and performers from across the artforms that make the festival unique. Late Junction, BBC Radio 3's late night celebration of musical curiosities from across time and space returns to Latitude for a third year running. Filling the woods with captivating sounds, previous line-ups have featured music as diverse as Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier, song collector and Mercury Prize nominee Sam Lee and the tape music of minimalist composer Steve Reich. For 2013, Late Junction presenter Max Reinhardt hosts another hand-picked collection of diverse, wild music in the intimate setting of The Lavish Lounge.

Late Junction - Late Junction Sessions: 40. Wimme and David X in Session
Fiona Talkington presents an eclectic sequence of music including an exclusive collaborative session featuring two musicians who have never worked together before: Finnish traditional "yoik" singer Wimme, and French beatboxer and vocal instrumentalist, David X. Every month Late Junction invites musicians who have not recorded together before, to come together in the studio and create unique music for the show, combining different styles and traditions. This month's session is a real soundclash meeting between the tradional Sami yoik (a kind of Finnish yodelling) singing of Wimme, with the gritty percussive virtuosity of David X's beatboxing.

Late Junction - Late Junction Sessions: 35. Rory Simmons and Fyfe Dangerfield
Fiona Talkington introduces this month's Late Junction Session - a collaboration between Rory Simmons, composer and trumpet player with the Loop Collective, and Fyfe Dangerfield, best known as the creative force behind indie rock band Guillemots, but whose music also embraces lyrical love songs and experimental styles. The monthly Late Junction Sessions bring together musicians who have never played together before in a unique studio collaboration. "Fyfe and Rory were such fun to work with" says presenter Fiona Talkington. "They brought loads of instruments, sound samples and tapes, and we ended up with so much interesting music, it's our longest Late Junction collaboration ever. We're thrilled they enjoyed the experience, and that they want to work together again." Rory Simmons was born in Bodmin in Cornwall, and made his name touring across the globe playing trumpet with Jamie Cullen's band - his musical interests extend well beyond jazz though, and his latest project is the album 'Glass Dancers', with compositions for string quartet, electronics and percussion. Besides his work as a core member of London's Loop Collective, he also leads the band Fringe Magnetic, which seeks to mix jazz and experimental music with chamber and orchestral colours. Fyfe Dangerfield's voice became familiar across the UK recently with a TV advert which used his cover of Billy Joel's song 'She's always a woman'. He is an accomplished songwriter in his own right though: 'a great songwriter on top form' is how The Telegraph reviewed his 2010 album 'Fly Yellow Moon'. However, Fyfe Dangerfield has devoted most of his musical energies to his indie rock band Guillemots, Mercury Music Prize nominees in 2006 - their latest album 'Walk the River' was released last year. He has also composed pieces for the City of Brimingham Symphony Orchestra and for the cellist Natalie Clein, and leads an improvising group Gannets. This Late Junction session will be available as a downloadable podcast.

Late Junction - Late Junction Sessions: 32. Synnove S Bjorset and Hari Sivanesan
Fiona Talkington with electronica from Brooklyn-based producer Oneohtrix Point Never, organ-driven jazz experimentalism from Troyka, and in this month's Late Junction Session, new music rom Norwegian hardanger fiddle player Synnove S. Bjorset and UK veena player Hari Sivanesan. This collaboration came about at this summer's WOMAD Festival, when the two met in the artists' tent of the BBC Radio 3 stage. They were intrigued by the similarities between the hardanger fiddle and the veena: though they are from totally separate cultures, both have drone strings, the tuning is similar, and there are stylistic parallels in the playing styles too. Synnove S. Bjorset is one of Norway's leading young fiddle players, and she is a regular with the band Majorstuen. Hari Sivanesan was born in London of Sri Lankan parents - he is BBC Radio 3's current World Routes Academy protégé, and he gave a solo performance at this year's BBC Proms. Producer Felix Carey.

Late Junction - Late Junction Sessions: 9. Christian Wallumrod and Garth Knox
Fiona Talkington with a late-night mix and a Late Junction session with Norwegian pianist Christian Wallumrod and his ensemble, with Dublin-born viola virtuoso Garth Knox. Christian Wallumrod draws his influences from Norwegian folk music, jazz and composers such as John Cage and Morton Feldman. He also plays harmonium and toy piano, blending with the trumpet, drums and strings of his ensemble. The result has been described as "wondrously obscure new music." When Garth Knox was in his twenties he was invited by Pierre Boulez to join his Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris, and later spent several years with the Arditti Quartet - his years with them included the premiere of Stockhausen's celebrated 'Helicopter Quartet'. He is now seeking to create a new repertory for the viola, embracing influences from baroque music, folk and the blues.

Verity Sharp with a late-night music mix, and, at around midnight, this month's Late Junction session, a collaboration between Celtic bard Robin Williamson, founder member of the Incredible String Band, and experimental composer and master of the melodic understatement Howard Skempton. Plus a motet by Bruckner, the Indian veena playing of Nirmala Rajasekar and a Russian folksong in the key of sadness. Robin Williamson, Scottish singer, songwriter, Celtic harp player and Honorary Chief Bard of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, is best known for his work in the 1960s with The Incredible String Band. In recent years, he has devoted himself to reviving the traditions of storytelling in music, drawing influences from folk, jazz, early music and eastern music. Howard Skempton also made an impact in the musical world in the 1960s, as part of Cornelius Cardew's Scratch Orchestra, which pioneered performances of experimental music by John Cage and Terry Riley, as well as compositions by band members. His recent music is characterised by brevity and sharp concentration, and has been acclaimed for its accessibility and focus on sonority. One critic has described his style as 'complex beauty under a veneer of simplicity'. In this special collaboration for Late Junction, Robin Williamson and Howard Skempton are given six hours in the studio, and free rein to create any music as they wish.
