Ambient Scotland

Elizabeth Alker celebrates the music of Scottish ambient and experimental artists, with tracks from Boards of Canada, Janet Beat and Andrew Wasylyk.

Elizabeth Alker presents a mix of music from some of the established artists and emerging musicians that make up Scotland's prolific ambient and experimental music scenes. In a programme first broadcast around the annual St Andrew’s Day celebrations of Scottish culture, expect music from Edinburgh’s legendary electronic duo Boards of Canada, plus new sounds from Dundee-based composer Andrew Wasylyk’s latest release, inspired by time spent on Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth; and the pioneering work of composer Janet Beat.
