The Progzilla Files Episode 74 | Prog Cover Versions (May 2021)

The Progzilla Files Episode 73: Clive Mitten

This morning I interviewed Clive Mitten, formerly of Twelfth Night, about his new album Suite Cryptique, which reworks and recomposes Twelfth Night’s music from 1978 to 1983 in various styles of classical music.

Clive explained how the album came about, and referenced several excerpts with some of their influences. So we’ll hear pieces from Suite Cryptique alongside the works of Anna Merideth, Steve Reich, Michael Nyman, John Adams, Nils Frahm and Max Richter and modern versions of pieces by Bach, Beethoven and Mozart.

The interview will be broadcast at 8pm GTM on Friday 6 April at www.progzilla.com
