New tracks on BBC’s Sleeping Forecasts

 

 Several tracks and compositions from different projects have become part of the BBC's “The Sleeping Forecast” (TSF) over the last year. TSF is a late night ambient showcase, broadcast every Tuesday at midnight (or 12am on Wednesday mornings if you prefer). The most recent inclusions from The Piano Lounge have been an excerpt from Revolutionary Earth - one of the Ambient Year compositions made for radio broadcast (ResonanceFM** in London, and Cornwall's The Source FM in Falmouth/Penryn – and “Ratcatcher's Hatchback” - a track from the album Esboços, recorded at the CAC in Tavira, Portugal* which is available on bandcamp.
