On today’s episode Danny Carroll meets Kate Ellis, cellist and artistic director of Crash Ensemble and composer Jonathan Nangle to discuss The Blue Haze Of Deep Time, a composition by Jonathan that will be premiered by Crash Ensemble at the New Music Dublin festival, on Sunday 6th April in The National Concert Hall.

The work will be released on CD and digital platforms two days prior via Crash Records, and we have a little preview of it in this episode of the podcast.

Drawing inspiration from the sea, incorporating field recordings, electronic and acoustic instruments, The Blue Haze Of Deep Time, marks the culmination of Nangle’s residency with Crash Ensemble.
