Fog Cast
[Repeated from Wednesday 11.30pm.] A series of late-night isolationist soundtracks curated by Robin The Fog. Tonight: a show of two halves, devoted to a pair of contrasting, thrilling extended works. First, Everyday Dust's live performance for Four Track Nights, recorded at The LoFi Gallery in Glasgow in June 2025. The composer describes it as a reimagining of the long-form piece Resurrection of the Foghorns. The original's foundations have been distilled to their barest essence, creating space for live improvisation. In the second half, we delve into the magnificence of György Ligeti's Requiem, with Liliana Poli, Barbro Ericson, Chor Des Bayerischen Rundfunks and the Sinfonie-Orchester Des Hessischen Rundfunks, Frankfurt. Come drift into the night with us... Further details at: robinthefog.com.
