Jlin’s Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker dives deep into the spaces between the notes, featuring a Listening Chair selection from the master of unplaceable electronics, Jlin.

Elizabeth Alker surveys the landscape of contemporary composition, moving through ambient, electronic, and post-classical recordings – and relishing the spaces in between.

This week, she invites Jlin onto the show for a surprising and transportive exercise in deep listening. In her startling electronic compositions, the Indiana native builds twitching digital worlds, populated entirely by mangled samples of her own creation. But in her Listening Chair selection, Jlin luxuriates in the honeyed vocals of Sade and in the process unlocks new depths of meaning in a soulful pop classic.
