Nonclassical Selects: Curated by Soosan Lolavar & Kelly Lovelady

This guest mix for Nonclassical explores sonorities that evoke the writing, recording and hearing of our new single, Soosan Lolavar’s Undone. Weaving together folk song traditions from across the world with explorations of microtonality reaching from Iranian music to Ben Johnston via Rebecca Saunders, this playlist is united by a sense of timelessness; a feeling that this music has existed for a very long time and will continue to resonate into the future.
