Sounds for time outdoors

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including an exclusive first play of new music by Daniel O'Sullivan.

Elizabeth Alker with music that defies classification, including the latest releases and exclusive previews. This week Shinichi Atobe brings the hazy blue light and translucent qualities of the Kanto Plane in Japan, music by Dengue Dengue Dengue is infused with ancient Peruvian healing remedies and Son Lux blend classical electronica and post rock influences. Elsewhere we have the first play of Daniel O'Sullivan's unique take on library music and film soundtrack music by Harold Budd.

Unclassified is a late-night listening party, a place for curious ears to congregate, disconnect from all other devices and get lost in some soothing, serene and strange new sounds. It's a home for composers whose work cannot easily be categorised, artists who are as comfortable in a grimy basement venue as they are in a prestigious concert hall.
