Ambience that gleams and glitters

Elizabeth Alker shares music that defies classification, from sounds inspired by shifting daylight and celestial ice to hopeful post-rock chamber music and reflective hip-hop.

Join Elizabeth Alker for another unclassifiable journey in sound. There’ll be luminous minimalism inspired by shifting daylight from South Korean composer Park Jiha, as well as glittering ambience from LA sound artist Steve Roden based around a Chinese Christmas carol about stars of ice. Plus post-rock protest music full of hope from Canadian chamber ensemble Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and reflective hip-hop from London’s Lex Amor.

This programme was first broadcast in January 2022.
