Please Plant This Programme

Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists.

Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through verdant landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. With spring very much in its stride, she’ll plant seeds of music whose tendrils will spread out into the ether, “learning the gentle way of green growing things”. 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 who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.

Produced by Geoff Bird
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3
