GLISSBLISS by Carolina Cury

Carolina Cury at The Old Hairdressers

Carolina Cury is a composer whose work has included collaborations with Max Richter and performances at the Southbank Centre and SXSW. GLISSBLISS, the project presented here, mixes contemporary classical writing with experimental pop and is accompanied by the producer Konstantinos Damianakis.

The support is an improvised set by Fionnlagh Mac A'Phiocair, a piper, and Tom Macfadyen, a composer and electronic musician. Their playing joins Scottish traditional music to electronic soundscapes: the sound of the smallpipes extends into deep, ambient textures, with touches of folklore and Gàidhlig song.

The Old Hairdresser's is a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows. This evening pairs an experimental pop project rooted in contemporary classical composition with a live improvised set built on Scottish traditional sound, a combination that will appeal to listeners interested in both folk-based and electronic music.
