Nature and nostalgia

Join Elizabeth Alker for another sonic journey into ambient and experimental music, with nature-inspired sounds from Folklore Tapes and nostalgic electronics from Forest Swords.

Join Elizabeth Alker for another sonic journey into the world of ambient and experimental music.

There’s nostalgic electronics from prolific Liverpool producer and composer Forest Swords, as he returns with a new album that features the likes of Neneh Cherry and the late Lee Scratch Perry. There’ll be nature-inspired improvisations from a new compilation by Folklore Tapes, whose mission is to research and soundtrack the folklore, mythology and occult annals of the UK. Plus a new collaboration between Penguin Cafe and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Produced by Katie Callin.
