Cory Smythe

In addition to performing with Ingrid Laubrock, the brilliant Smythe (pictured) presents a solo concert for retuned, prepared and processed piano, radically reinterpreting the standard ‘Smoke Gets In Your Eyes’ as a meditation on grief and environmental catastrophe. 

Cory Smythe will perform on Saturday 29 April.

Rufus Isabel Elliot

Having had one foot in the Royal Conservatoire Of Scotland and another in Glasgow’s DIY scene, this producer of OVER/AT (a trans, non-binary and gender-diverse label and project), brings us a newly commissioned work for the SSO’s strings that draws on folk ballads. 

Rufus Isabel Elliot will perform on Saturday 29 April.

Ryoko Akama

Huddersfield-based Akama takes over the City Halls’ Recital Room with her installation shimatsu 13. Sculpting domestic appliances and scrap material into kinetic contraptions, Akama creates ephemeral situations that magnify silence, space and time. 

Ryoko Akama will perform on Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 April.

Limpe Fuchs 

A rare chance to see this legendary composer, percussionist and instrument builder. At 81, Fuchs remains as adventurous as ever, bringing a spectacular array of resonant metallic tones and raw electronics to her performances. 

Limpe Fuchs will perform on Sunday 30 April.

Lucy Duncombe & Feronia Wennborg

 Two of Glasgow’s most interesting sonic explorers (Duncombe as a solo artist, Wennborg with Soft Tissue) come together for a project exploring voice-based technologies. Through a collaborative process, the duo create intimate, tactile sonic experiences set within fictional worlds. 

Feronia Wennborg will perform on Sunday 30 April.

Tectonics will take place at City Halls & Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow, Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 April.
