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 we’ll hear a fabulous collaboration from Scanner and Neil Leonard that was ten years in the making; a track written during an Icelandic snowstorm featuring on the brilliantly titled album ‘All Our Friends Are Vampires’; and in the week marking 400 years since the death of John Dowland, we’ll hear new music from Laura Cannell, a great fan of the Renaissance composer. Elizabeth also offers her signature mix of emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form. Produced by Geoff Bird. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3. To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Unclassified”.
