111MHz: ‘Introit.’ The Australian drummer and composer Laurence Pike is back with a post-Covid requiem that blends chorus (in this case, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ Vox) with drums and electronics. It reimagines what a requiem mass might sound like. Drums are very forward in the arrangement, as mightn’t entirely surprise you—even as the beauty does. A taste of his new album, The Undreamt-of Centre.
