About the album
Album Z marks the arrival of Zoë Martlew as a composer whose music moves between worlds – crystalline and raw, comic and sacred, intimate and vast. Bringing together works created for some of today’s leading performers, it traces a lifetime of fearless experiment and deep listening, where myth, memory and imagination converge in sound that feels both timeless and vividly alive.
