One of the UK’s leading chamber orchestras, Manchester Camerata, join us today for a specialist mix inspecting the beguiling intersection of ensemble and electronic music, featuring tracks from the likes of Space Afrika, Blasio Kavuma, Speakers Corner Quartet and Tirzah.
There’s an emotional heft to the music that squeezes tight at the ribs, as vocals float in and out of the foreground and instrumentals bleed into one another. An ideal salve – and distraction – for any start-of-week stress you may already feel bubbling to the surface this Monday afternoon.
Inviting us into the process behind the mix – which they are sharing ahead of an upcoming Manchester event, UNQUIET, equally focused on this very subject matter – they tell us: “This mix was recorded on a rainy October morning at the NTS Radio studios in Manchester using CDJs and Technics 1210s – apologies for the crackle! It includes people we have collaborated with, work we have commissioned and people we would love to work with. The music ranges from pieces written solely for voice to large and small ensembles. We hope you enjoy”
Manchester Camerata and Robert Ames host UNQUIET with Speakers Corner Quartet at New Century, Manchester, on 22 November
