Nonclassical is a unique record label, releasing classical music in an unexpected and refreshing way, including genre-busting Remixes along-side original contemporary classical works. Featuring a new generation of performers, composers and promoters who are starting to emerge from the world of contemporary classical music, Nonclassical also hosts a regular series of events, which redefine the rules of classical music - determined that classical music is no longer solely aired within the constraints of the concert hall. This night is part of rediscovering of its relevance, and takes inspiration from baroque, techno, grime, classical, avante garde; presenting it informal & relevant situations.

About Cortical Songs
Nonclassical's fourth release is something rather special indeed. After early details leaked Nonclassical can confirm that John Matthias and Nick Ryan's Cortical Songs project is set for release on the 21st July.
Cortical Songs is a work in four movements for string ensemble and solo violin written by John Matthias and Nick Ryan in which the orchestra is partially controlled by a tiny computer brain. Cortical Songs features the String Ensemble of Trinity College of Music, conducted by Nic Pendlebury with the solo violin played by John Matthias and live interactive programming by Nick Ryan.
The Cortical Songs album includes remixes of the four movements by Thom Yorke, Simon Tong (Gorillaz / The Good The Bad & The Queen), John Maclean (The Beta Band / The Aliens), Jem Finer, and Gabriel Prokofiev. This is set to be one of the most unique and fascinating releases of the year.
