Jon Hopkins’s Listening Chair

Elizabeth invites composer and producer Jon Hopkins to settle into the Listening Chair and select a track that transports him to a faraway place.

Elizabeth invites the electronic artist and producer Jon Hopkins to settle into the Listening Chair, and select a piece of music that transports him far away. Jon Hopkins frequents the fertile ground that lies between dance music and contemporary composition – but his newest release, Piano Versions, finds him at his most meditative and stripped back, scratching away at the layers of formerly expansive electronic pieces until just the stark bones of a song remain. His choice for the Listening Chair is a drifting, contemplative moment from Dan Deacon, who is perhaps better known for his explosive electro-pop songs.
