Cloud-gazing

Elizabeth Alker shares some of her favourite tracks of ambient and electronic music perfect for cloud-gazing.

Springtime is upon us, and with it the chance to pause and gaze up at the clouds. Elizabeth Alker is on hand to share some of her favourite ambient and electronic sounds inspired by mists, nebulas and those fluffy shapes in the sky.

We鈥檒l hear lush string textures courtesy of London-based film and TV composer Jon Opstad, and a new release in the dark ambient realm by multi-instrumentalist and producer Kinn, who takes inspiration from the sacred and the supernatural. Elsewhere in the show, we traverse grainy sonic landscapes with the Calder Valley鈥檚 Sullivan Johns (aka Cloud Diameter) and get immersed in the minimalist techno and sublime voice of singer, DJ and producer Park Hye Jin from Seoul.
