Sonic Bothy Open Sessions
Looking forward to these Open Session workshops with Sonic Bothy at City Halls in February.
Sonic Bothy at Sound
In September we had a Sound Lab concert in the Recital Room at City Halls, Glasgow and in early November the ensemble was in residence at Sound Festival in Aberdeen.
We had a jam-packed few days of workshops and rehearsals with a final concert in the Phoenix Centre, in the very wonderful Newton Dee Village set on a farm. Find out more about Sonic Bothy ensemble at the Sonic Bothy website.
Final Fling Death Cafe
Final Fling held a Death Cafe of Remembrance in the lovely Gallery of Modern Art workshop space as part of the To Absent Friends festival.
Read more about Death Cafe Movement and read Final Fling’s reflections on a very inspiring, moving and spirited event. And all accompanied by a cuppa and some rather fabulous Guinness cake!

Sonic Bothy at Counterflows
I am delighted to have been working with inclusive contempoary music ensemble Sonic Bothy leading up to a performance at Counterflows Festival 2014. We have been exploring a combination of recorded and acoustic sounds – merging them to create an atmospheric, improvised live performance.
Theology at Behaviour
I am working with Martin O’Connor on the soundscape for A Govan of the Mind, part 2 of his new show Theology. Martin will be performing in The Arches Behaviour Festival in April at The Pearce Institute, Govan. A Govan of the Mind is a series of poems celebrating the beauty of our everyday language. Part 1, Theology, is a Glaswegian-dialect version of the Catholic Order of Mass, with composition by Oliver Searle. Design: Rachel O’Neill, lighting design: Kate Bonney.
Hearafter at GoMA
HearAfter is now up and running at Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art in the Round Room on the 2nd floor balcony.
I am delighted to say that, following the preview on 25th October, the installation has been extended and will now be on until 2nd December 2013.
Day of the Dead at GoMA
Preparations are well under way for our Day of the Dead mini-fest. Co-produced by GoMA Glasgow and Final Fling this is shaping up to be a great day.
