Studies in Stillness

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 ‘Of Another Mind’ as part of our new ‘Long PLayer’ feature; The Vernon Spring offers an extraordinary reworking of a Fleet Foxes track; and we’ve new music from Julie Holter who imagined squirrels cooking at her stove in the making of the song ‘My Lost One’. Elsewhere, we’ll hear the latest sounds from members of a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
