Composer Justin Hurwitz became best known for his work with college friend and film director Damien Chazelle, most notably for the La La Land score. Raised in California, Hurwitz came from an artistic family – his sister played the violin and both his parents worked in the arts, his mother was a ballerina and his father a writer. He began playing the piano at the age of six. By the time he was ten, he was composing his own music. In the eighth grade, he and his family moved to Fox Point, Wisconsin where he attended Nicolet High School. While there, the budding composer also studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee with pianist Stefanie Jacob. After graduating in 2003, he continued his education at Harvard University.

Master songsmith, consummate interpreter, and the renowned voice of Silly Wizard, Andy M. Stewart returns to the spotlight with a stunning new album, Man In The Moon. Featuring Wizard bandmate Phil Cunningham on accordion, keyboards, and whistles, Patrick Street’s Gerry O’Beirne on guitars, and Maire Breatnach of Waterboys fame on fiddle and viola, the album is one of traditional beauty coupled with contemporary artistry. Man In The Moon takes the listener on an emotional journey, from the title track’s compelling connection between the human spirit, the land, and the seasons, to the politically poignant "Listen To the People," to the bizarre and whimsical tale "The Errant Apprentice." Add to these original compositions Andy’s beautiful interpretations of traditional songs: "The Echo Mocks The Corncrake" and "Land O' The Leal." Man In The Moon is yet another masterwork by one of Scotland’s greatest artists.

Professor Brian Cox takes a look through nearly 50 years of BBC archive at the story of man's relationship with the moon. From the BBC's space fanatic James Burke testing out the latest Nasa equipment to 1960s interviews about the bacon-flavoured crystals that astronauts can survive on in space, to the iconic images of man's first steps on the moon and the dramatic story of Apollo 13, Horizon and the BBC have covered it all. But since President Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s was reached, no-one has succeeded in reigniting the public's enthusiasm for space travel and lunar voyages.

While flowing from the same, molten core of melody, songwriting craft and towering self-belief, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ new album, Who Built The Moon? alters the legendary singer-songwriter’s course following a bracing, two-year creative collaboration with renowned producer, DJ and composer, David Holmes.

A Moon Shaped Pool is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released as a digital download and on paid streaming services on 8 May 2016. A physical release followed in June 2016 through Hostess Entertainment in Japan and XL Recordings in other countries. A special edition, containing additional artwork and two more tracks, will be shipped in September 2016. Radiohead worked on A Moon Shaped Pool intermittently after finishing the 2012 tour for their previous album, The King of Limbs, working in southern France with longtime producer Nigel Godrich. It includes several songs written some years earlier; "True Love Waits" dates to at least 1995, "Burn the Witch" to 2000 and "Present Tense" to 2008. Several tracks feature strings and choral vocals arranged by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra. "Ful Stop" features additional drumming from Clive Deamer, who performed with Radiohead on the King of Limbs tour. The artwork was created by longtime collaborator Stanley Donwood. Radiohead did not promote the album until the week before its release, with the singles "Burn the Witch" and "Daydreaming", accompanied by music videos. The band also commissioned a series of video vignettes by directors and visual artists set to short clips from the album. A world tour began in June 2016. A Moon Shaped Pool received critical acclaim; it became the fifth Radiohead album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize and Radiohead's sixth chart-topping album in the UK.
