The Huddersfield Festival is the UK's leading festival for new music, and this year's composer in residence was Chaya Czernowin, whose major piece for orchestra and bass clarinet "Fast darkness.." features in tonight's show.
Czernowin鈥檚 work is often compared to archaeology. Rather than writing linear pieces, her music digs downwards, into the earth, in search of sounds and sensations.
Tom Service talks to her and other featured composers, and reports on the sound installations that also ran during the festival.
