From St Kilda to the Asphalt Lake

Elizabeth Alker with music by Mhairi Hall, Eivind Aarset and Jan Bang, and Roger and Brian Eno among tracks from Scotland to Australia, plus detuned pianos from Max de Wardener.

Elizabeth Alker with music by Mhairi Hall, Eivind Aarset & Jan Bang, and Roger & Brian Eno among tracks from Iceland to Australia, plus detuned pianos from Max de Wardener. There's brand new ambient music by brothers Roger Eno and Brian Eno and by Eivind Aarset & Jan Bang - intriguingly titled Asphalt Lake. Australian composer Henry Reese brings a very personal response to the country's recent bushfires heard through its colonial and environmental history. And there's a huge range of instruments in new tracks from Scotland: Mhairi Hall's piano in her track St Kilda, fiddle and harmonium with Aidan O'Rourke and Kit Downes, and everything from harp to euphonium from Andrew Wasylyk.
