Bach Marathon Hour Eleven: 5am to 6am

This hour’s lineup, with performer bios and program notes:
Ed Williams (Marseille, France)
Prelude in D Minor, Broken, composed/improvised by Ed Williams
Guitarist, harpsichordist and composer based in Marseilles, France, Ed Williams’ work is driven by a passion for the “misshapen pearl” of the Baroque, pushing him to explore the boundaries of music practice today towards free improvisation, noise, and electro-acoustic composition. https://edwilliams.xyz/
