Ambient Tones and Wintry Drones

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including an exclusive first play of new music by American composer Caroline Shaw.

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including an exclusive first play of new music by American composer Caroline Shaw. There are also brand new tracks from Poppy Ackroyd featuring Hang player Manu Delango, Nightports inspired by a 14th century temple, water-themed music from Sophie Hutchings, and Kenyan artist Joseph Kamaru aka KMRU. Plus music from one of this year's Oram Awards winners, Vicky Clarke.

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.
