BBC Radio 3 - Unclassified, KMRU's Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker shares new ambient music and KMRU is in the Listening Chair.

Elizabeth Alker shares new tracks from the world of ambient music, and KMRU is in the Listening Chair to select a favourite piece that transports him to another place.

Berlin-based Kenyan sound artist KMRU, known for his visceral ambient sound-worlds that are both soothing and arresting, sits in the Listening Chair to select a track that transports him to another place. Elsewhere, in a show first broadcast in November 2022, Elizabeth Alker shares live recordings from the enigmatic Sarah Davachi who teases out new textures from a church organ; plus the playful and subversive music of Pierre Henry, and the time-shifting sound-layers of electronic producer Stefan Betke.
