Mary Anne Hobbs in the Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker invites Mary Anne Hobbs into the Unclassified Listening Chair to pick a piece of music that transports her to another realm.

Elizabeth Alker journeys to the outer edges of ambient, electronic, and post-classical music and revels in the spaces between.

This week, she invites ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ 6 Music presenter (and fellow advocate for unclassifiable music) Mary Anne Hobbs into the Listening Chair to pick one piece that moves her to another world. Her selection comes from the German pianist, Nils Frahm, whose spellbinding live performances and intimate, minimal compositions have captivated her from the very first moment she heard them.
