Berlin has been a global capital of electronic music for decades. In this New Sounds edition, John Schaefer brings us the latest music you might hear in the late hours in this city. We'll hear violinist Daniel Hope plays Max Richter's "Berlin by Overnight" and then some nocturnal remixes of the same piece. Icelandic and Berlin-based cellist and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir brings us an electronic symphony of cellos--all of them her layered over each other. The Brandt Bauer Frick Ensemble plays electronic sounding music, but you might be surprised that it is performed completely on acoustic instruments. Hear excerpts from Dustin O'Halloran's score to the film "The Beauty Inside" and more.
