´óÏó´«Ã½

Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. Along the way, we'll hear from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers whose sound is infused with the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.

This week, we hear from alt-folk artist Richard Dawson with his ode to allotment life, a new collaboration involving Carlos Nino, Surya Botofasina and Nate Mercereau - and also music from Mermaid Chunky's brilliantly titled album 'slif, slaf, slof'.

Elizabeth also plays a track from a compilation celebrating the work of pioneering composer Norman McLaren, creator of landmark short films like Dots and Synchromy and the founder of the influential animation studio at the National Film Board of Canada.
