The ambient hour
Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today鈥檚 most exciting genre-defying artists.
Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. Along the way, we'll hear from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers whose sound is infused with the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
This week, hypnotic moto perpetuo in a new work for three vibraphones and 20-channel 1-bit electronics by Tristan Perich with Ensemble 0; a hazy, sonic landscape conjured by Manchester's Black Brunswicker; and Caroline Shaw with a contemporary take on a much-loved song by Franz Schubert.
