Gateway music

As the nation starts opening doors of advent calendars, Verity Sharp shares gateway music to transport you to other worlds, with extraterrestrial folk dances and imagined myths.

As the nation starts to open the doors of their advent calendars, Verity Sharp shares gateway music to transport you to other worlds. There’s extraterrestrial folk dances from the Android Trio, and imagined myths about an ancient swamp tribe dreamed up by pastoral-electronic duo Grykë Pyje. There’ll be music inspired by the ancient symbol of a door to a tomb in Kazakhstan, as well as ambient accordion experiments from Los Angeles composer Walt McClements inspired by a hole in a fence.

Elsewhere there’s new music from producer Jlin, Catalonian vocal duo Tarta Relena and Greek harpist Sissi Rada.
