CANCELLED: Anna Meredith

»Breakbeats like drumbeats, synthesizers like an armada of wind instruments, and a build-up of suspense that turns the track into an electronic mini-symphony.« The magazine Kulturnews celebrates Anna Meredith’s latest album release as an absolute bright spot in the borderlands separating classical from electronic music. And it really is nothing short of fascinating what multifarious sounds the unconventional British musician coaxes from her excellent line-up, with familiar instruments enriched by synthesizer sounds. The outcome sometimes sounds like pop or techno, other times like rock or experimental contemporary music. Whatever label one uses, her music is always totally convincing.
