Big Cosmic Energy

Elizabeth Alker drifts to the edges of ambient and electronic music, and explores the spaces in between with new music by singer Hayden Thorpe and the expansive world of Popul Vuh.

Elizabeth Alker drifts to the edges of ambient and electronic music, and explores the spaces in between. This week features soaring new music that reaches up to the sky by singer Hayden Thorpe. Hayden climbed not one but two mountains to record the music video and said of the experience, 鈥淪ummit fever took over us. When you鈥檙e suspended between rock and sky there鈥檚 an explosion of the senses鈥�. Plus a cut from a luxurious vinyl reissue of The Caretaker鈥檚 series of albums that catalogue his experience of early onset dementia, and German kosmische musik pioneers Popul Vuh invite you into their expansive cinematic world.
