Subharmonica
Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists. This week: Nils Frahm, Jeune Oji and Jane Paknia.
Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. She’ll be sharing music from German composer Nils Frahm’s upcoming album, a new track from Carmel Smickersgill that’s a love letter to caring, and an intriguing and joyful ode to French multi-instrumentalist Jeune Oji’s great passion - football - titled Apertura, after the opening stages of South American football tournaments.
