Elizabeth Alker welcomes a giant of ambient music Roger Eno to the Unclassified Listening Chair, inviting him to select a track that transports him elsewhere. Since buying an upright piano with money he earned as a butcher’s boy, Roger has been a much revered and highly influential composer and musician, collaborating frequently and providing the soundtrack to numerous high profile films, TV shows and theatre productions over the decades. Endlessly curious, his most recent album Without Wind / Without Air is his most challenging and ambitious yet. Elsewhere, Elizabeth offers a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists including Manchester duo Space Afrika and visionary songwriter Julia Holter. Produced by Geoff Bird A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 To listen on most smart speakers just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Unclassified”
