Christian Wolff鈥檚 成人快手 commission, Old Shoe, New Shoe was inspired by a large painting by Philip Guston, and the result is a sonic landscape of some scale. Two solo percussionists interweave with the orchestra, constantly changing performing situations: moving from leader, to follower; from written notes to free improvisation.
Jennifer Walshe's The Site of An Investigation ranges wildly over our contemporary predicament, taking in microplastics, Facebook likes, grief, precarity, interplanetary colonisation, artificial intelligence and loss. The work is coloured by shifts between raw emotion and the blackest humour.
Festival co-curator Ilan Volkov says, 鈥淭ectonics Glasgow Festival is the highlight of my year. The festival of course keeps changing but its main strength is really showing a diverse range of new music from classical composers using notation, improvisers without any notation, to electronic music, sound art and performance art as well.鈥
