Sonic transcendence and horse bones

Elizabeth Alker shares new sounds from the ambient, electronic and orchestral music realms.

Elizabeth Alker shares new sounds from the ambient, experimental and orchestral music realms, including an innovative new release called The Horse, from British electronic musician Matthew Herbert, in collaboration with the London Contemporary Orchestra. The album uses instruments constructed using the skeleton of a horse - flutes made from thigh bones and bows of ribs and hair.

Ahead of British producer Jon Hopkins’ debut at the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms, Elizabeth selects a track from the ten-year anniversary and re-master of his album Immunity, a transcendent electronic journey that seamlessly blends intricate rhythms, ethereal melodies and dreamy orchestral swells.

Elsewhere on the show, we hear new music by multidisciplinary artist Jack Warne aka GAUNT, with visceral and rich textures that capture the deeply personal narrative and experience of Jack’s life growing up with a hereditary eye disease.
