The Colour of Darkness

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including the latest releases and exclusive previews.

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including the latest releases and exclusive previews. This week Elizabeth explores strange night-time lights and colours in brand new music by Carly Paradis, Gazelle Twin, Max Cooper and Son Lux. Gasp at Fireworks From The Tower through the saxophone of Samuel Sharp, sigh and cry with Four Tet, Joy Orbison and Scratcha DVA. Plus music by 2020 Oram Award winner Poulomi Desai.

Unclassified is a late night listening party, a place for curious ears to congregate, disconnect from all other devices and get lost in some soothing, serene and strange new sounds. It's a home for composers whose work cannot easily be categorised, artists who are as comfortable in a grimy basement venue as they are in a prestigious concert hall.
