Spring Timbres
Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists. This week: Nico Georis, Ambre Ciel and Qasim Naqvi.
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, a track from Qasim Naqvi that builds on a composition he wrote for Unclassified Live and which imagines the life of the last person on earth in a far distant future; the luscious tones of Canadian composer and singer Ambre Ciel from her forthcoming album ‘Still’; and the sounds of the Californian desert beautifully evoked by Nico Georis from his Granny’s Dancehall studio in a ghost town outside Death Valley.
