Actress joins the show

Electronic producer and musician Actress joins Tom to chat about his new project with the London Contemporary Orchestra.

Electronic producer and musician Actress joins Tom to chat about his new project with the London Contemporary Orchestra, a full album of their collaboration released on Ninja Tune. Originally performed at the Barbican in February 2016, the music created a synergy between both live electronic and acoustic components, not just in the harmonies but in the way the traditional instruments were spliced into new hybrid instruments. As part of the process, Actress and LCO augmented traditional piano and created sounds from objects as varied as temple bowls and plastic bags. The show, a massive sell-out success, eventually lead to the release of this much anticipated album.
