Pitch shifts
Elizabeth Alker with music by an exciting new generation of unclassified composers and performers, breaking free of the constraints of practice rooms and concert halls.
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.
