Tectonics 2023 opens with multi-disciplinary musician Inge Thomson鈥檚 new work Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn. Inspired by the natural law - 鈥淚f you push on it, it pushes on you鈥� - it blends composed sound representations of human emotional responses to trauma with improvised reactions to manipulated interview excerpts. She鈥檚 joined by drummer and percussionist Calum McIntyre, 鈥�..without doubt one of the best and versatile skin-smackers in the country鈥� (The Scotsman).

Cellist-improviser, composer and artist Semay Wu鈥檚 live performances focus on an improvisational framework that encourages a space for spontaneity within dynamic scenarios. Building on the relationships that emerge, new collaborations and nuances unfold during the timeframe and become, themselves, players.
