Extended mixes and lullabies
Elizabeth Alker plays a selection of ambient and experimental tracks including new takes on the lullaby.
Take two raw-edged tracks from a cult 1990s American band; extend and repeat them until all their incantatory beauty and magic are allowed to unfurl; then bring in the legendary Will Oldham and guitarist Tyler Trotter to finish the job: that鈥檚 exactly what Louisville guitarist and folklorist Nathan Salsburg has done with the songs of Lungfish, new versions which he used to play to his baby daughter Talya by way of a lullaby.
Dublin-based singer-guitarist Kevin Fowley, meanwhile, offers up a luxurious slowly-unfolding setting of a medieval French lullaby, A虂 la Claire Fontaine, the simple melody surrounded by smoothed pillows of guitar. And Roxanne de Bastion's album Songs From The Piano Player Of Budapest is a homage to her grandfather, Stephen, a composer-musician and survivor of the horrors of the holocaust in Hungary. His piece 鈥淪leep, Sleep Little Boy鈥 is here reimagined by his granddaughter in collaboration with Ed Harcourt.
