Winter Frequencies

Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists. Featuring Saba Alizadeh, Ansis Bētiņš & Artūrs Čukurs, and Nils Frahm

Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. This week offers a truly international selection of music, featuring master of the Iranian violin and former student of experimental sound art at Cal Arts, Saba Alizadeh; the extraordinary voices of Ansis Bētiņš & Artūrs Čukurs singing a cappella on their album Slavic Folk songs, which features moving stories of peril, longing and hope; and a live, wonderfully-atmospheric recording of the legendary German composer Nils Frahm performing in Paris’ Philharmonie.
