BBC Radio 3 - Unclassified, Homecomings

Join Elizabeth Alker as she takes us on a sonic journey that's headed for home.

Elizabeth Alker opens the door to new ambient and experimental sounds exploring ideas of home.

The ache for home lives in all of us, said Maya Angelou. Elizabeth Alker takes us on a journey there, whether it be a physical space or a state of mind, through the domestic ambient backdrops of Hiroshi Yoshimura and the expansive new sounds of Bill Ryder-Jones.

Yoshimura’s album Surround was originally commissioned by a Japanese housing developer as a soundtrack to their living spaces, though the rich and delicate sonic textures he folds together prove to be far much more than simply part of the furniture. The forthcoming album by Bill Ryder Jones is his most ambitious yet, sonically at least. He wants, he says, Iechyd Da “to be like a home, where people can come and feel safe, like my favourite records are for me.” Meanwhile Chimet, the debut album from the collective of sound-designers, programmers, and improvising musicians known as Mining, charts the approach, impact and aftermath of a major week-long storm upon the south coast of England, fusing meteorological data with electronic sound to trace the contours of the tempest.
