Elizabeth Alker looks across the Atlantic for inspiration in this episode of Unclassified, presenting the latest experimental and ambient sounds to emerge from one of the world's great centres of adventurous music: New York City. Arto Lindsay, a longstanding figure in the city’s avant rock scene, releases a recording of an ambitious installation piece in which he recreates the atmosphere and sounds of a carnival parade inside a white cube. Post-metal Brooklyn outfit Guhts, meanwhile, blend synths and strings with the harsher, more abrasive sounds of the city. And, in a nod to New York’s pioneering past, Elizabeth plays a drone-infused slice from a fresh re-issue of the seminal recording Dreamhouse 78’ 17" by La Monte Young.
