To mark the 10th event in the INTER- series a group of their favourite sound artists and regular contributors have been invited to perform live in surround sound.

INTER- #10 will see performances by Ela Orleans, Cucina Povera, Mark Vernon and Klaysstarr.

While the work of each is different from the next, maybe there are some threads connecting them – perhaps shared interests in field recording, memory, song, music media, and bleak aural spaces.

Stereo, Renfield Lane, Glasgow.
Thu 20th July, 7.30pm
£6 advance

The Glad Cafe presents:

 
This Thursday I am honoured to join the bill with Kye label mates Glorias Navales as they return to Glasgow following their European tour and a breathtaking performance at Counterflows.

Glorias Navales (GxNx) are a five member ensemble based in Santiago, Chile. The group get together regularly in a private space to jam out a type of late night campfire trance music, bridging the gap aesthetically and stylistically between Chilean folk music (ala Violeta Parra) and ramshackle post-Velvets psychedelia. Their sound – crafted on acoustic guitars, rabel and bombo chino (drum) – have resulted in stunning releases; ‘Carta a Maureen Tucker’ ETCS and ‘Cofradia Nautical’ on Graham Lambkin’s KYE label.

For a special performance at Counterflows Festival, I will be doing a live presentation of my most recent LP, ‘Lend an ear, leave a word’, released on Graham Lambkin’s KYE label. Composed from field recordings of contemporary Lisbon combined with reel-to-reel tapes and micro-cassettes found at the Feira de Ladra flea market, it is a portrait of time and place – an archaeology of sound. The result of the audio flotsam and jetsam washed up on the shores of low commerce in the flea markets of Lisbon.

Also on the bill for this event is Counterflows featured artist, Ashley Paul performing as a duo with Rashad Becker.
