This week's Tune Of The Week is Children in the Universe, taken from the new EP from composer Sam Perkin - watch an extract from the accompanying video by Laura Sheeran above.

Children in the Universe is a 'hybrid symphony' for Crash Ensemble and Halo Track, with violinist Diamanda La Berge Dramm serving as Guide.

Speaking of the EP, Perkin says:"Composed between 2020 and 2022, I have gone deep for this work. There are two years of life in here. Our Guide, Diamanda, will take us on a sacred journey to a place where only music can. She will act as a medium through which, with open ears, we can dream much needed counsel.Together, we can use this guidance to create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible."

Children in the Universe is now available via Bandcamp - listen to more from the EP below:
