Elizabeth Alker with another late-night journey through fresh music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists. Including tracks from Erik Klinga, Marcus Gootner and Hekla.

Join Elizabeth Alker as she shares a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists, including tracks from theremin player Hekla and Japanese-Welsh composer Delyth Field. Plus: New York musician Greg Stasiw explores the relationship between sound and space; Welsh artist Leif finds beauty in a battered old instruments; and Argentina's Franco Robert offers a new waltz for piano.
