Experience the groundbreaking sounds of Anna Meredith in her latest project, Nuc, created in collaboration with the renowned Ligeti Quartet. This Mercury Prize-nominated composer and producer pushes the boundaries of contemporary classical music with a collection that is both innovative and accessible.
Nuc began as a creative dialogue between Anna and Richard Jones, the viola player from Ligeti Quartet, reflecting a decade of musical partnership. The album features a variety of string and electronic recordings that span Anna’s illustrious career, alongside new arrangements of her existing works.
This album is a celebration of modern pop composition, rooted in classical instrumentation. The result is a rich tapestry of joyful, energetic tracks that include Anna’s signature harmonies, dynamic rhythms, and vibrant textures.
