Elizabeth Alker explores landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds, hearing from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica. This week: Peter Broderick takes inspiration from an iconic Japanese video game soundtrack; New York composer Tristan Perich collaborates with superstar organist James McVinnie; Laurel Halo scores an oceanic ravine with dense string textures; and there's a surprise poetic appearance from an Oscar-winning actor.
