Studies in Stillness
Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today鈥檚 most exciting genre-defying artists.
Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. This week, Elizabeth invites Etta Helfrich to introduce her track 鈥極f Another Mind鈥� as part of our new 鈥楲ong PLayer鈥� feature; The Vernon Spring offers an extraordinary reworking of a Fleet Foxes track; and we鈥檝e new music from Julie Holter who imagined squirrels cooking at her stove in the making of the song 鈥楳y Lost One鈥�. Elsewhere, we鈥檒l hear the latest sounds from members of a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
