Shimmer States

Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists.

Join Elizabeth Alker on a journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds as she offers up a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists. Expect to hear from emerging independent creators whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest from a new generation of contemporary composers whose output is infused with the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.

Tonight Elizabeth has new tracks from Oliver Coates (who has a new album on its way following the success of his work on the Aftersun soundtrack), The London Electronic Orchestra, as well as Berlin-based guitarist and pianist Ben Lucas Boysen.
