Don't Leave Me Behind

Kate Molleson talks with composer Alex Paxton about his new album Delicious and a new work, Don't Leave Me Behind, which we hear in a performance by Ensemble Modern at Wigmore Hall recorded last month. 12 Ensemble present new music for strings and electronics by Sasha Scott from this year's Norfolk & Norwich Festival; Plus-Minus ensemble play Thomas Stiegler's Paul Klee-inspired work for violin and piano Inferner Park 1; and we hear electronic producer Beatrice Dillon's latest venture into acoustic music with her Sift: Piano, Vibraphone, Other... performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ilan Volkov at Tectonics Glasgow. Plus new releases from Dawn of Midi's Qasim Naqvi, Weston Olincki, and previously unreleased material from two pioneers of their fields, electroacoustic composer Bernard Parmegiani and free improv pianist Cecil Taylor.
