Night Waves

Ismael Beah

Kenan Malik explores the condition of synaesthesia, in which the stimulation of one sense leads to an involuntary experience in another. Messiaen claimed to be affected by it and as the centenary of his birth approaches Night Waves talks to a synaesthetic artist and a neuroscientist about the links between synaesthesia and creativity.

Also, Kenan talks to Ismael Beah from Sierra Leone, who, at the age of 12 became one of the country's 300,000 child soldiers, but later came to write a best-selling book about his experiences.

And as the search for an artist for a new 20 million pound sculpture in Kent is about to be decided by shortlist, Kenan talks to art critic Richard Cork and cultural commentator Stephen Bayley about whether competition is healthy for the visual arts.

22:30

Artist Focus

Stephen Hough

With Petroc Trelawny. Featuring the pianist, composer and writer Stephen Hough. Including his recording of Schoenberg's 6 Kleine Klavierstucke, Op 19.

23:00

The Essay

Conflict and Culture

The Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1 was a source of huge distress and hardship, but was also a powerful catalyst for artistic and cultural development. Some artists fled north, like the painters Monet and Pissarro, others such as Zola and Maupassant took the war as the touchstone for some of their greatest writing.

1/4. Defeat

Prof Julian Jackson of Queen Mary, University of London, explores the impact of the conflict and the Paris Commune on day-to-day French life and the way artists responded to it.

23:15
