Die Musik für die Veröffentlichung seines seit Jahrzehnten ersten Studio-Albums hat Musik-Innovator Thomas Dolby im einzigartig inspirativen Ambiente eines ausgebauten Rettungsbootes komponiert. Aus diesem Album spielt er heute als Erstaufführung einen wunderschönen und bewegenden Song, der von einer Nacht mit einer Legende handelt. Begleitet wird er von den Mitgliedern des modernen Streichquartetts Ethel.

Thomas Dolby has spent his career at the intersection of music and technology. He was an early star on MTV, then moved to Silicon Valley; now he’s back on the road (with friends) with his new album, "A Map of the Floating City." Full bio »
