Beautiful cosmos

Ivor Cutler's small paean to tea and silence, a pianistic appreciation of the little things with Hauschka, and Sun Ra's cosmic journey to find Love in Outer Space.

Ivor Cutler's small paean to tea and silence, and the dancing of Strike the viol, touch the lute by Henry Purcell - part of a birthday gift for Queen Mary - open tonight's Mixtape. Then, a prepared piano appreciation of the little things with Hauschka, the easy-going swing of Prokofiev's Pushkin Waltz and a zestful Allegro from Beethoven's Quartet in B flat. And a consoling reflection upon dewdrops by Eriks Esenvalds, before Sun Ra's cosmic journey to find Love in Outer Space.
