Tectonics Review The Guardian ****
7th May 2019
…”Downstairs in the Old Fruitmarket, Scottish vocalist Nichola Scrutton breathed deeply into a mic, the sounds mirrored by clarinettist Alex South across the room. In between, the audience were caught in a dexterous layering of breath that felt like the wash and roll of the sea.”…

Commission Outspoken Arts
Love Street – The Musical
Martin O’Connor and I are once again working together – this time on a co-commission by Outspoken Arts Scotland.
We have been invited to develop a proposal for a new theatre production in Paisley called Love Street – The Musical.
Over the last couple of months we have been out and about visiting organisations and gathering stories from people in Paisley who have memories and connections to Love Street. More to follow…


Rough Breathing – The Herald
Near the end of our CCA/AC Projects Residency we held an informal event in the Creative Lab. We shared a performance of work-in-progress and had a wonderful Q and A/discussion.
Many thanks indeed to Keith Bruce for including Rough Breathing in this nice piece about CCA Glasgow and the Counterflow Festival 2019.
Rough Breathing Update

During our residency Alex South and I explored different elements through the Rough Breathing context – live electronics, audiovisual, and psychoacoustic and sonic relationships between voice and clarinet in addition to breathing practices informed by Pranayama.
We posted some blogs at AC Projects Counterflows, and shared some work-in-progress at an informal gathering at CCA near the end of the residency.
Huge thanks to Alasdair Campbell/AC Projects, Creative Scotland, Alex Misick, Kenny Christie and all at CCA Glasgow, and our guests in the lab, sound designer William Aikman, filmmaker Wendy Kirkup and dance artists Joan Clevillé and Solène Weinachter.
CCA/AC Projects Residency
I’m very much looking forward to the forthcoming CCA/AC Projects Residency with Alex South. Alex and I will be further investigating the role and impact of breath in our performance practices.

We will be documenting our development and will be posting occasional blogs.
Space/Time – Magnetic North
I am super delighted to be part of the 2018 Space/Time creative retreat with Magnetic North Theatre Company. This is arrival day at the wonderful residency centre Cove Park in the west of Scotland. The sunset is stunning.
My fellow artists are Eoin Carey, Pat Law, Ross Whyte and Sharron Devine and the residency is facilitated by Magnetic North’s Artistic Director Nicholas Bone and Alice McGrath, Creative Director of Red Bridge Arts.
During the residency we will be taking an in depth look at our various practices through the question ‘how does an artist keep developing?’.
