Soundtracks

Anna Meredith is seen as one of the most innovative minds in modern British music. As part of the ”Soundtracks”, she presents her mixture of avant-garde, pop and contemporary classical music.

Composer Anna Meredith proved once again that there are many fascinating synergies to be found in the realm between avant-garde, pop and contemporary classical music with “Varmints”, the Scottish album of the year. The album oscillates between pulsating beats, pointillist staccatos and bombastic arrangements, mysteriously marrying indie and orchestral music. In her live performances, Meredith performs with a sextet on the clarinet, electric guitar, celli, tuba, percussion, and electronic instruments. American music magazine Pitchfork was full of superlatives too, calling Anna Meredith one of the most innovative minds in modern British music. There’s nothing to add to that.
